Mark launchpad test as flaky

Should help with #13153

BTW, I'm not sure if test only PRs that have no user facing changes should have any kind of news item?

Sadly, I don't think this will help. The test is already retried on CI due to the network marker and evidently those retries haven't been enough:

pip/tests/conftest.py

Lines 115 to 118 in ae1b526

	if "CI" in os.environ:
	# Mark network tests as flaky
	if item.get_closest_marker("network") is not None:
	item.add_marker(pytest.mark.flaky(reruns=3, reruns_delay=2))

Okay, I think it's worth increasing the delay/retry count, if a retry can wait/try enough to complete it saves more time than rerunning a test. I'm going to open a new PR.
