Add a retry option to UseApiDataOptions

[klemenstraeger]

Describe the feature

Im currently using something like this in my project to retry a failed fetch.

const fetchData = async () => {
    let tries = 0
    const maxTries = 3

    const { refresh, error, data } = await useApiData(
        "path/to/api",
    );
    while (error.value && tries < maxTries) {
        tries++;
        await refresh();
    }
    if (error.value) {
        //handle error..
    }
    return data.value
}

My suggstion would be to add an option to UseApiDataOptions to enable retries if a fetch fails.

await useApiData(
    "path/to/api",
    {
        retries: 3
    }
)

Thanks !
