wsl.exe --update can fails with 403 and is not retried #66

Description

@ssbarnea

I already have seen this happening multiple times over the last weeks in the last weeks and I think we should add some kind of retry mechanism for it:

  C:\Windows\system32\wsl.exe --set-default-version 2
  For information on key differences with WSL 2 please visit https://aka.ms/wsl2
  
  The operation completed successfully.
    
  C:\Windows\system32\wsl.exe --update
  Forbidden (403).
    
  ::endgroup::
  Error: The process 'C:\Windows\system32\wsl.exe' failed with exit code 4294967295

Apparently the 403 error is not really a permanent error and it should be recoverable with retries.

It should be noted that in my case I was using Ubuntu-22.04 distro, which is still listed as active. Not sure if others are less likely to cause this error.
