0001-Only-retry-request-when-HttpEntity.isRepeatable-retu.patch

The {{HttpEntity}} interface provides a method for indicating whether or not an 
entity can be automatically retried. While investigating an issue with 
corruption of encrypted uploads in the [java-manta 
library|https://github.com/joyent/java-manta] I discovered that requests were 
being automatically retried in the event of a 503 response from the server. 
Stepping through the execution path led me to discover that 
{{ServiceUnavailableRetryExec}} does not check the supplied {{HttpRequest}} to 
determine whether or not it can be safely retried. We've implemented a fix 
within java-manta in our subcclass of 
{{DefaultServiceUnavailableRetryStrategy}} but this seems like it could bite 
others as well so I thought it would merit a bug report.

The included patch corrects this behavior. Checked that {{mvn verify}} 
completes successfully. Please let me know if there are any questions or other 
modifications that I need to make in order to contribute this patch.
