[RxJS] Simplified retryWhen and repeatWhen

src$.pipe(
    retryWhen(error$ => error$.pipe(
        switchMap(getNotifier)
    ))
)

// can just be
src$.pipe(
    retry({
        delay: getNotifier
    })
)

// Before: a simple daly
src$.pipe(
    retryWhen(error$ => error$.pipe(
        switchMap(() => timer(5000))
    ))
)

// Now
src$.pipe(
    retry({
        delay: 5000
    })
)
