Merge #12804: [tests] Fix intermittent rpc_net.py failure.

5a67c0524e [tests] Fix intermittent rpc_net.py failure. (John Newbery)

Pull request description:

  rpc_net.py would intermittently fail on Travis, probably
  due to assuming that two consecutive RPC calls were atomic.
  Fix this by trying the test up to three times and only failing
  if all three attempts fail.

  fixes #11778
