Subject: [PATCH] Retry busy executable launches in packaged daemon tests
 (#46524)

## Why

Freshly copied executables can briefly remain busy on Linux CI workers, causing packaged daemon tests to fail at launch.

## What changed

Retry the command launch in `packaged_daemon_launch` up to twice on `std::io::ErrorKind::ExecutableFileBusy`, waiting 10 ms between attempts. Other launch errors still propagate immediately.
