num_restore_failures is the number of failed restoration.
num_failures is the number of failures that caused by user/ application code.

because restoration is not a user defined behavior, but some feature we provided. We don't treat restoration failure same as normal application failure. The behavior is, when the program failed due to application, we increment the num_failures and trying to restore the application. If the restoration is successful, the program just goes on. If the restoration fail, we will keep on trying to restore but increments the number of num_restore_failures by 1. When the TUNE_RESTORE_RETRY_NUM restore reaches, we stop restoration, and increment the num_failures by another 1.

self.temporary_state.num_restore_failures += 1

Test retrying restore on a trial level by setting `TUNE_RESTORE_RETRY_NUM`.
This unit test holds the following hyperparameters:
- `retry_num`: Maximum number of retry attempts for restoring a trial.
This value is assigned to the environment variable `TUNE_RESTORE_RETRY_NUM`.
If the restoration fails after retry_num attempts, the trial increments its
counter of total number of failures by 1.
- `retry_num_to_fail`: Number of restore attempts to fail. In this test,
retry_num_to_fail is set to 2, causing the first two restore attempts to fail.
- `max_failures`: Maximum allowable failures during training. Here, max_failures is
set to 2, meaning the training process will terminate after two total failures.
