Description: Several tests calling unwinder.get_stack_trace() were flaky because they used retry loops without exception handling. Transient failures like "Failed to parse initial frame in chain" that occur when sampling at an inopportune moment would immediately fail the test instead of being retried. The fix adds a _get_stack_trace_with_retry helper function and updates seven locations to use busy_retry with contextlib.suppress for OSError and RuntimeError, matching the existing pattern in _get_frames_with_retry. This allows transient failures to be silently retried while still timing out if the expected condition is never met. Issue: gh-136186
