Retry domain transfer

Retry an in-progress domain transfer. If the previous failure was an invalid EPP/auth code, send eppCode here to save the new code and retry the transfer in the same request. You can also call POST /api/v2/domains/{id}/actions/update-epp first, then retry with an empty body. The response returns the refreshed transfer status, recovery gates, and registry history so a client does not need to infer state from raw provider text.
