Limit and retry the module download in the Docker build (closes #351)

Each `go mod download` in the Dockerfile now runs under a 180-second
time limit and is tried up to three times. Without the limit, a stalled
connection to the module proxy held the step, and every build on the
host sharing it, until the kernel dropped the connection. When all
three attempts fail, the step prints "module download failed" and
exits 1, so the build stops there and does not look like a test or
lint failure. The loop is repeated in each of the three stages because
a Dockerfile cannot share shell code between stages. A test checks
every download step for the limit, the retries, the message and the
final `exit 1`.

Judgement call: 180 seconds and three attempts, against a normal
download of 13 to 24 seconds.
Deviation: REPO_POLICIES.md's model Go Dockerfile still shows a bare
`RUN go mod download`.

Model: opus-5-5
