Closes#932
`connect-timeout` gets replaced by an exponential backoff for the
download timeout where the initial value is controlled by the setting
`initial-connect-timeout`.
Per iteration, the upper limit of the timeout is increased set to
timeout := min(max_connect_timeout, initial_connect_timeout * 2^i)
I decided to move the entire timeout / tracking of attempts into its own
class to not make the filetransfer implementation more complex. Also,
that allows us to write unit-tests for it.
Setting `--download-attempts` to `0` is forbidden now and an exception
will be thrown. For `--offline` we set it to `1`, the behavior is
equivalent to what it was before: whether the max tries were exceeded is
only checked after the first download exception got thrown, i.e. there's
still one attempt being made.
The end-result - with timeouts being caused by a wrongly set proxy -
looks like this:
$ env HTTPS_PROXY=1.1.1.1 nix store ping --store https://example.com
