Crash in render engine due to directx device hanging up #5340

@ghost

Description

VSExtensibility team got a watson logged internally with a crash coming from the terminal. After looking into the watson it appears that the crash is coming from this line:

FAIL_FAST_HR_MSG(E_UNEXPECTED, "A rendering engine required too many retries.");

It looks like an intentional fail fast but it would be better to surface the error and allow the application hosting the rendering engine to decide if it should crash or not.
