Retry only transient failures.

except Exception also catches validation, authentication, and programming errors. _with_backoff then blocks run_references for up to ten hours before raising. Restrict retries to known transient exceptions, or add a retry predicate. This also prevents IndexError or TypeError raised inside search_entity_by_value from reaching the outer skip handler.

In `@src/mardi_importer/zbmath/misc.py` around lines 86 - 88, Update _with_backoff
to retry only known transient exceptions, or apply an explicit retry predicate,
instead of catching every Exception. Ensure validation, authentication,
IndexError, TypeError, and other programming errors from search_entity_by_value
propagate immediately while preserving backoff behavior for transient failures
and the existing max_total limit.
