feat(python): enhance retry configuration in REST client

Updated the retry parameter in the Configuration class to support different types based on the library used (urllib3 or asyncio). Adjusted the RESTClientObject to handle the new retry configuration, allowing for more flexible retry options. This change improves the handling of retries in API requests, ensuring compatibility with various retry strategies.
