Simple provision to help dealing with flakey CI jobs (repeat_command.py)

Experiments trying to understand the MSVC test_iostream.py flakiness.

There is also pytest-flake which could be useful here.

If anyone wants to use my trick to deflake tests in the future, PR #3180 should make it straightforward to pin-point where the tests are run, and repeat_command.py now lives here: https://github.com/rwgk/rwgk_config/tree/master/bin

The only slight wrinkle is that one ci.yml job runs the Python tests outside the pybind11 source directory. This is what I did for that one special case:

    - name: Copy tools/repeat_command.py to /tmp
      run: cp -a tools/repeat_command.py /tmp
...
      run: python3 /tmp/repeat_command.py 1 make pytest -j 2
