[retry] Added configurable timeouts to retry timer

New min_timeout and max_timeout fields in struct retry_timer allow
users of this timer to set their own desired minimum and maximum
timeouts, without being constrained to a single global minimum and
maximum. Users of the timer can still elect to use the default global
values by leaving the min_timeout and max_timeout fields as 0.
