Document whether retry is interruptible

Summary

Location of documentation issue: The Haddocks of Control.Exception.

Control.Exception documents that STM actions that don't call retry are uninterruptible. Unfortunately, it does not document whether an STM action can be interrupted on retry. I would certainly hope that such actions can be interrupted, but I don't know, so I can't propose a specific solution.
