As reported in #4109, the weather module retries much more frequently than expected after network errors. #4092 already fixed the main cause (duplicate fetchers), but the backoff logic in `HTTPFetcher` still has a gap: once retries are exhausted, `calculateBackoffDelay` keeps returning a short fixed delay (60s) instead of falling back to `reloadInterval`. The same problem existed for 5xx errors, where the delay grew to 8× the configured interval. Inspired by #4110 (thanks @CodeLine9), this PR makes both error paths fall back to `reloadInterval` after retries are exhausted. I also simplified the catch block, extracted a `#shortenUrl()` helper for log messages, and added tests for the backoff progression.
