kvdb+etcd: remove retry goroutine from the STM

This commit removes the retry goroutine from the STM as the retry loop
is only running when the STM transaction is encapsulated in Update/View
whereas for self-standing transactions we use a different approach.
By removing the goroutine we won't catch panics thrown that are supposed
to be catched outside of the STM.
