As of now, keepalive connection retries aren't aware of
idempotence, much like proxy_next_upstream. Retries are only done
in case of early errors though, and this is expected to be good
enought in most cases.

The future plan is to teach proxy_next_upstream and friends about
idempotent or not idempotent methods, and probably also splitting
"error" state into errors before we were theoretically able to
send at least some bytes of the request (that is, retries are for
sure safe even in case of non-idempotent methods), and errors
after that point.
