Issue: [Streaming] retry on requests errors
State: closed

cc @Wauplin it looks like the retries from `hfh` are not always enough. In this PR I let `datasets` do additional retries (that users can configure in `datasets.config`) since I couldn't find an easy way to increase the max_retries for `hfh` users in general.
