    Updated documentation for new replicator retries_per_request value
    
    The new value is 5 but used to be 10, which makes more sense with the new
    scheduling replicator behavior.
    
    Issue #810

+        If a request fails, the replicator will retry it up to N times. The
+        default value for N is 5 (before version 2.1.1 it was 10). The requests
+        are retried with an doubling exponenital backoff starting at 0.25
+        seconds. So by default requests would be retried in 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4
+        second intervals. When number of retires is exhausted, the whole
+        replication job is stopped and will retry again later::
