Telemetry for a failed background policyHelper refresh now includes how many attempts were made

What

When a background refresh of a policyHelper (a script that computes managed settings at startup) fails after its retries are exhausted, the settings_policy_helper refresh_failed telemetry event now includes an attempts field recording how many attempts were made.

Why

This gives more detail on failed policy helper refreshes, making it possible to tell whether a failure happened immediately or only after several retries.
