isRetryableStatus used an unbounded status >= 500, so a garbage status like
1000 landed in the retryable bucket. This function is the sole gate the
client and HTTP transport trust for retry safety, and an out-of-range value
must fail closed. Bounded on both sides.
408 Request Timeout was non-retryable while the same file documented
transport as covering "connection, timeout, 5xx" - a genuine timeout
surfaced as 408 was classified differently from the identical timeout
surfaced as 504. Now retryable.
There was no code for "the callee answered but not with a ServiceResult" - a
proxy's HTML error page, a truncated body. Task 8 was already papering over
it by hand-setting retryable: false beside a transport code that
retryableFor says is always retryable, which is exactly how the two drift
apart. Added RPC_MALFORMED and made that path use failure() so retryability
is derived from the code rather than written next to it.
