ddtrace/tracer: more accurate retry logging#3327

Conversation
When the writer fails to send a payload to the agent, it logs an error message that includes the text "will retry", but technically this is only true if the tracer was started with the `WithSendRetries` option (otherwise, the config value is 0 and no retries will be attempted). Would it be more accurate/less confusing to do something like this where the writer just logs "attempt N of M"?

What does this PR do?
Updates the log messages emitted on failure to send a payload to the agent to just log the current attempt count and total number of attempts that will be made, rather than always including the phrase "will retry".
Motivation
It's a small thing, but the current message can be misleading; if the tracer was not started with a non-zero
WithSendRetriesoption, or if the loop is on the last retry, "will retry" is inaccurate. There might be a nicer change to make to the message but this was the simplest thing I could think of.Reviewer's Checklist
