VCL: retry explicit 503 once as well

In Varnish 3 these cases were blended together, but in Varnish 4
they're distinct: you can only catch->retry explicit 503s in
vcl_backend_response, and you can only catch->retry implicit 503s
in vcl_backend_error.  Since both are protected with
bereq.retries==0, they can't both be applied to the same backend
fetch attempt.
