[Backport 7.73.x] Enable retry on rate limit errors in datadog-api-client calls

[dd-octo-sts]

Backport 1eaade1 from #43295.

---

What does this PR do?

Adds enable_retry=True to all Configuration instances used with the Datadog API client to enable automatic retry handling for HTTP 429 (rate limit) and 5xx backend errors.

Motivation

The dynamic_test-evaluate-e2e job and likely others have been intermittently failing with "Too Many Requests" errors when calling the Datadog CI Visibility API, for instance:

• https://gitlab.ddbuild.io/DataDog/datadog-agent/-/jobs/1248067205
• https://gitlab.ddbuild.io/DataDog/datadog-agent/-/jobs/1247686220

The datadog-api-client library has built-in retry support that automatically respects the Retry-After header on HTTP 429 responses and uses exponential backoff with sensible defaults (factor=2, max_retries=3) for other failures.

Describe how you validated your changes

• verified that Configuration(enable_retry=True) enables automatic retry with Retry-After header handling for HTTP 429 responses,
• applied consistently across all Datadog API client usage in the codebase.

Additional Notes

Also inlined Configuration construction for single-use cases following idiomatic Python style.

Explanation

Confidence level: 90.00%
Effect size tolerance: |Δ mean %| ≥ 5.00%

Performance changes are noted in the perf column of each table:

• ✅ = significantly better comparison variant performance
• ❌ = significantly worse comparison variant performance
• ➖ = no significant change in performance

A regression test is an A/B test of target performance in a repeatable rig, where "performance" is measured as "comparison variant minus baseline variant" for an optimization goal (e.g., ingress throughput). Due to intrinsic variability in measuring that goal, we can only estimate its mean value for each experiment; we report uncertainty in that value as a 90.00% confidence interval denoted "Δ mean % CI".

For each experiment, we decide whether a change in performance is a "regression" -- a change worth investigating further -- if all of the following criteria are true:

1. Its estimated |Δ mean %| ≥ 5.00%, indicating the change is big enough to merit a closer look.

2. Its 90.00% confidence interval "Δ mean % CI" does not contain zero, indicating that if our statistical model is accurate, there is at least a 90.00% chance there is a difference in performance between baseline and comparison variants.

3. Its configuration does not mark it "erratic".
