Support variable backoff on retry
When a job fails currently, it has a backoff of 2^count
seconds.

Sometimes it's useful to wait much longer, like 30 seconds between runs.
It would be nice if the base (2) were variable per job in the database. For example, setting it to 5 would make the backoff be 5s, 25s, 125s, etc.
(Maybe the ^count
exponent should also be variable? But that would be harder to implement and probably not necessary.)
