Adding exponential backoff utilities

This cl adds two classes, one to calculate a base multiplier for an exponential backoff series and the other to return sequential values in an exponential backoff series.

This cl has a number of advantages over the previous one, such as:
- separating the base multiplier calculation from the exponential backoff class so that a standard exponential backoff class like com.google.common.labs.concurrent.RetryStrategy.ExponentialBackoff could be used instead if it becomes open source
- allows the backoff sequence to be scaled by specify an initial backoff delay
- uses milliseconds instead of arbitrary time units which allows the tolerance to be set automatically when calculating the base multiplier
