Added support for retry logic in setup experience software installations. (#32823 )

Fixes #32580

- Added retry logic for software installs
- Added sending intermediate results to Fleet server

I QA'd this on Linux (see video below). For macOS and Windows, I QA'd it
by having the server force retries on normal (non-setup experience
software installs).

intermediate failure reporting.
