CI: remove reruns on all failures.

This is covering up real bugs; we need to fix CI instead.

From https://pypi.org/project/pytest-rerunfailures/#re-run-all-failures:

```
To re-run all test failures, use the --reruns command line option with the maximum number of times you’d like the tests to run:

$ pytest --reruns 5
```

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit changes the project's automated testing configuration to stop automatically re-running tests that fail. Previously, every failed test was retried up to 10 times, which can hide flaky real bugs. The change itself does not alter any shipped software, network protocol, or user-facing behavior, and it does not fix or introduce a security vulnerability in the product.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal CI hygiene change. Monitor subsequent CI runs for newly surfaced test failures that may reveal latent bugs.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
