When a test fails and you fix the model code, running `dbt retry` now also rebuilds the model(s) that the test depends on, not just re-runs the test. Previously, retry would only re-run the failing test against the stale model, causing the test to fail again even after the model was fixed. This fix detects test nodes (generic, singular, and unit tests) in the retry set and automatically includes their parent nodes (models) so they get rebuilt before the test runs.
