Which Issue(s) This PR Fixes

Fixes #8544

Brief Description

This pull request introduces a retry mechanism in the unit test pipeline to automatically retry failed unit tests up to two times.

Known Limitations

• The retry mechanism relies on GitHub Actions with write permissions to trigger a new workflow run. As a result, only users with write access will be able to utilize the retry mechanism.This limitation is documented in the GitHub Actions documentation
• Contributors without write permissions will not be able to trigger retries if their tests fail during a pull request. This could lead to cases where their pull requests require manual intervention from maintainers if a test fails due to intermittent issues.
• To address this limitation, it is possible to modify the workflow permissions, such as by setting permissions.actions = write in the workflow file. However, this approach may introduce security risks by granting broader access than intended.

How Did You Test This Change?

• Pipeline Simulation: The modified CI pipeline was run multiple times in a controlled environment to simulate various failure scenarios and confirm that the retry mechanism behaves as expected. The test workflow
