Cirrus-CI: retry pkg installation on failure

[emaste]

Summary

Pkg installation failed reasonably frequently, always at:

[62/104] Fetching jpeg-turbo-2.0.6.txz: .......... done
pkg: http://pkgmir.geo.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:13:amd64/quarterly/All/jbigkit-2.1_1.txz: No route to host

Move pkg installation to a script and retry once upon failure.

perhaps this list should continue to live in .cirrus.yml and be passed to this script -- will update

Put pkg list back in .cirrus.yml

A version of this worked:

pkg: http://pkgmir.geo.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:13:amd64/quarterly/All/jbigkit-2.1_1.txz: No route to host
pkg install failed

trying again
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...

dmesg snippet looks like messages from boot though, so probably no link flap at this time

Maybe set -e for future safety? As it stands the script is fine wrt exit codes, but seems wise to add it.

@jrtc27 is right for the long term...

As much as I want to say "this would ideally be relatively temporary" we all know how temporary things end up... :)
