Feature: Setting to allow resending dead letter messages back in to same queue

[Cave-Johnson]

Description

It would be useful to get the ability to resend dead lettered messages to the original queue (in addition to the feature that lets them be sent to a different queue).

• It would be good to do this with a configurable time delay ie resend after X minuets.
• It would be good to limit the amount of times a dead lettered message gets resent ie gets resent 3 times before it is permanently dead lettered.

Use case I see is that occasionally a consumer will fail to process a message for whatever reason (downstream component it requires is unavailable, some sort of timeout), we don't want to lose the message / data and usually the next time the message is resent, 99% of the time it processes fine. For us, it is extra overhead having a different consumer running just for dead lettered messages in a different station, although this would likely be used if a message failed to be reprocessed after X amount of retries.

Excellent suggestion, @Cave-Johnson. It will be incorporated into the roadmap.
