Summary: Retry on CURLE_COULDNT_CONNECT

Initial Comment:
When using curl, I sometimes get random "couldn't connect to host errors". I am not sure what is causing them, but the server looks to be operational, and running the same command after a few seconds usually works. I tried to use the --retry option, however it turned out that it treats CURLE_COULDNT_CONNECT as a fatal error and does not try again if it occurs. Could this error code be included please when curl determines whether to retry? I have attached a patch that should address this issue.
