test: retries on e2e matrix strategy and matrix generator jobs (#3009)

<!--
Thank you for your Pull Request! Please describe the problem this PR
fixes and a summary of the changes made.
Link to any relevant issues, code snippets, or other PRs.

For trivial changes, this template can be ignored in favor of a short
description of the changes.
-->

## Problem

<!--
Describe the issue this PR is solving
-->

E2E tests can fail for a variety of reasons, and matrices are especially
vulnerable to intermittent failure, due to the aggregation of several
parameterized runs.

## Changes

<!--
Summarize the changes introduced in this PR. This is a good place to
call out critical or potentially problematic parts of the change.
-->

Implement retries for steps for which we anticipate or commonly see
failures.

## Validation

<!--
Describe how changes in this PR have been validated. This may include
added or updated unit, integration and/or E2E tests, test workflow runs,
or manual verification. If manual verification is the only way changes
in this PR have been validated, you will need to write some automated
tests before this PR is ready to merge.

For changes to test infra, or non-functional changes, tests are not
always required. Instead, you should call out _why_ you think tests are
not required here.

If changes affect a GitHub workflow that is not included in the PR
checks, include a link to a passing test run of the modified workflow.
--->

Run checks that include E2E tests.
