Configuable retry for failed events.

Symptom: The adapter continues to redeliver failed events indefinitely.

Resolution: A new property, FailedEventRetryLimit, has been added to the ActivationSpec. FailedEventRetryLimit allows you to set the number of times the adapter will attempt to deliver an event before marking it as FAILED. This only applies to failures that are normally retried; data binding errors and function selector errors are excluded. If the adapter or server is shut down and restarted, the adapter will start fresh and deliver the event the specified number of times, not counting any retries that were attempted before the adapter was shut down.
