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.
