  curtin does not retry when gpg fails to recv key

Bug description:
  ==== Begin SRU Template ========
  [Impact]
  Curtin installation can be configured to install additional apt
  repositories and import gpg keys from a remote keyserver by fingerprint.
  'gpg --recv' can transiently fail, causing installation failure.

  The fix is to just retry
    gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv <key>

  [Test Case]
  Run curtin vmtest on XenialTestAptSrcDisablePockets
   ./tools/jenkins-runner tests/vmtests/test_apt_source.py

  The named test pushes curtin through use of gpg --keyserver.
  It does not guarantee failure and re-try, but does test the
  happy path.  Even if the gpg server was available on the first
  time, we at very least then verify that there is no regression.

  [Regression Potential]
  Low risk of regression.  The code change is just to sleep and retry
  a command if it failed.

  [Other Info]
  When looking further into some failures in add-apt-repository that were
  not fixed by re-trying, we found bug 1532855 .  It is not explicitly
  related to this bug, but is a similar failure path.

  ==== End   SRU Template ========

  In some cases we have transient network failure while attempting to
  recv gpg keys when configuring apt.
