1. Fix panic in agent …

   Previously, there was an issue where the agent could panic while
   attempting to determine if an error was temporary.
   
   Before the change, in `agent/exec/errors.go`, the function `IsTemporary`
   attempted to drill down to a root cause by iterating through the causes
   of an error by calling `errors.Cause`. If an error has no cause, then
   `errors.Cause` returns that same error.
   
   The issue is that somewhere in the depths of some code, it was posssible
   for the error to have an underlying type that was non-comparable; for
   example, maps and slices are uncomparable types. This would cause a
   panic, as the uncomparable type cannot be compared even to itself.
   
   However, one can see that `errors.Cause` has its own loop, and drills
   down to the root cause in its own way. There is no need for us to
   iterate here.
   
   Instead, we can just take a look at the error itself, and then take a
   look at its cause once. If neither is temporary, the error is not
   temporary, and we have nothing to worry about.
