Feature request: default maxRetries to a small number instead of infinity

[alexkrolick]

Due to the issue with Axios 0.19, clients may have gotten hit with infinite retries unexpectedly. The default could be made safer so this doesn't happen.

#59 (comment)

Proposal: can the defaults be changed to "fail closed" (not retry at all or retry with a low maximum count) instead of infinitely retrying?

---

EDIT: it looks like there is an attempt to default to 3 here: https://github.com/softonic/axios-retry/blob/master/es/index.js#L189; not sure if that means the bug is due to something more complex or what. Hope there's some tweak that would make it work.

@alexkrolick yea it would appear that default retry limit is not being set to 3 correctly for Axios 0.19

I had to downgrade Axios to 0.18.0 and used axios-retry 3.1.1 and the retry limit appears to be working correctly again. Not sure if it's an issue between the monitor and the chair on my side or not.
