eutils request throttling causing failures and retries

[theferrit32]

I'm actually not sure why eutils requests are even being sent at runtime

Release run was:

./misc/clinvar-vrsification 2025-11-16

I had tried increasing the threads from 2 to 5 locally. I will reduce it back to 2.

3 threads seems to be fine

Spoke too soon. At least less throttling. The 1 second waits before retries should add enough backoff that it can proceed without unrecoverable errors.
