Merge branch 'sidekiq_set_retries' into 'master'

Disable retries for remote mirror update worker

By default, Sidekiq will retry 25 times with an exponential backoff.
This may result in jobs retrying for up to 21 days. That could lead
to an ever-increasing queue size for the remote mirror updates. The
mirrors will attempt to update again within an interval, which should
be sufficient.
