Auto-configured retry template now aligns with builder defaults by retrying on pre-response network exceptions. Previously, network connectivity errors like connection timeouts and connection refused were not retried in the auto-configuration path, causing inconsistent resilience behavior compared to the builder defaults.

✅ Aligns auto-config retry behavior with
RetryUtils.DEFAULT_RETRY_TEMPLATE✅ Retries pre-response network exceptions (connection timeouts, connection refused)
✅ Optional WebFlux support without hard dependency
✅ Maintains existing retry behavior for
TransientAiException✅ No breaking changes - purely additive retry behavior
✅ Comprehensive unit tests added for all scenarios
