remote-build: increase number of launchpad start_build request attempts
Metadata
Current evaluation
Closed unmerged: more start_build retries were abandoned after the author traced repeated failures to an uncaught Launchpad backend error that the change would not address.
Resolution: closed stale
Reason: PR #2633 was closed unmerged by cjp256 on 2019-07-19, who commented that frequent failures were caused by an uncaught backend error. No replacement PR or resolving commit was identified.

Issue body
- Add some informative logging for user as well.
- Don't sleep after last attempt.
It seems to be happening a lot, even when the builders are not busy... there might be an underlying reason?
