JCLOUDS-460: Add jitter to avoid thundering herd

When issuing many simultaneous requests to Synaptic Atmos I observed:

HTTP/1.1 failed with code 500, error: AtmosError
[code=1040, message=The server is busy. Please try again.]

Previously all clients slept for fixed intervals and thus retried
around the same time.  This commit adds a random delay which should
better distribute load on the provider.

> This is a general problem for private blobstores since a single client can often overwhelm the server with many requests.  While jclouds retries in many of these situations, it waits a fixed amount of time between requests, often overwhelming the server again.  Instead it should insert some jitter, e.g., 0-10% extra delay, to more evenly distribute the retries.
