Research direction

Start by locating the Ruby Auth0 retry handling that currently uses Auth0::RateLimitEncountered and review how RestClient::RequestTimeout is surfaced. Confirm the desired optional error-class condition and verify the behavior with the existing test suite; done means retries can be configured for the requested error without changing the current default.
