Add retries to system hook worker

Closes #31109

See merge request !10801

Don't delete a branch involved in an open merge request in "Delete all merged branches" service

Closes #29427

See merge request !10727

The default number of Sidekiq retries is 25 over about 21 days.
If an external system is unavailable for a length of time, hooks
can pile up in the Sidekiq queues. If the situation gets bad enough
the retry jobs dropping back into the main queue can slow down
other jobs. Limit the retries to a sane number to avoid this
scenario.
