request_comments: remove obsolete retrying code
The issue that code was working around happened with an older
request format (the ajax format) that was removed. The issue
does not happen with the newer polymer format.

# Here's what I know about the secret key (starting with ASJN_i)
# *The secret key definitely contains the following information (or perhaps the information is stored at youtube's servers):
# -Video id
# -Offset
# -Sort
# *If the video id or sort in the ctoken contradicts the ASJN, the response is an error. The offset encoded outside the ASJN is ignored entirely.
# *The ASJN is base64 encoded data, indicated by the fact that the character after "ASJN_i" is one of ("0", "1", "2", "3")
# *The encoded data is not valid protobuf
# *The encoded data (after the 5 or so bytes that are always the same) is indistinguishable from random data according to a battery of randomness tests
# *The ASJN in the ctoken provided by a response changes in regular intervals of about a second or two.
# *Old ASJN's continue to work, and start at the same comment even if new comments have been posted since
# *The ASJN has no relation with any of the data in the response it came from
