[Fuego] [PATCH 5/5] iperf3: add retries if the server is busy

The iperf3 server can only serve iperf3 clients one at a time.
For that reason, running the test on multiple boards at the
same time would end up in an error for all boards except the
one that arrived first.
One solution would be to start multiple servers using
different ports, and asking Fuego users to write the default
port on their board files.
Here I am taking another solution that does not require
doing that and therefore is less confusing. The idea is
to allow iperf3 clients to retry the connection several
times (with 30 seconds intervals). This approach also has the
benefit that by ensuring that only one test can run at the
same time, the cpu/network utilization of the server is not
affected by other boards.
