fix: try proxy settings with another gpg error
Metadata
Current evaluation
Merged in #229 (commit ddfadb5); GPG key retrieval now retries via the system HTTP proxy after a network-unreachable error. Shipped in 2.2.1.
Resolution: closed resolved
Reason: The approved PR was merged as commit ddfadb5. It extends proxy retry handling to GPG's "Network is unreachable" failure, complementing the existing timeout retry.

Issue body
In some environments it's possible that gpg says that the network is unreachable, rather than that the connection timed out, when a proxy needs to be used.
