Updates to splunkversioncontrol_backup_class.py:

- Added retry logic
- Renamed `type` to `obj_type` to avoid clashes with the builtin python type
- Added logic to remove default entries for savedsearches when backing up (this can reduce the display.visualization entries in some cases)
- The code now triggers an exit with a particular exit code depending where the failure occurs

Updated Splunk python SDK to 2.1.1
