Req's default `retry: :safe_transient` waits ~7s across exponential backoff
when the stubbed response is a 5xx or connection error. Tests that asserted
error-status behavior paid that price on every run.
Disable retries in test env for every direct Req caller:
* `Towerops.HTTP` (covers weather/netbox/geocoding/http_executor/pagerduty)
* `CnMaestro.Client`, `Gaiia.Client`, `Preseem.Client`, `Sonar.Client`,
`Splynx.Client`, `Agents.ReleaseChecker`, `Billing.StripeClient`
Use `Keyword.put_new(:retry, false)` so any test explicitly opting into
retry behavior is respected.
Suite time: 82.8s → 65.3s. Slowest test dropped from 7050ms to 1447ms.
