Exponential Backoff for first successful health check

[jaym]

Currently, hab does a health check every 30 seconds. This means in most cases, you'll need to wait 30 seconds for hab to tell you a service is healthy. It would be nice if every time hab loads or applies some configuration change, we could start backing off from 1 second to the default (30 seconds). So we would get a health check after [1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 30, ... 30] seconds. The health check interval would go to the default once a successful health check is returned. It would probably be best to do this only when a service is loaded and a configuration change is applied to avoid situations where a crashing process constantly causes health checks

Seems like a good addition. Seems like we might be able to do this by adding a bit of extra state here to help track where we might be within a backoff scheme.
