Michael Eischer 6eece31dc3 lock: introduce short delay between failed locking retries
Failed locking attempts were immediately retried up to three times
without any delay between the retries. If a lock file is not found while
checking for other locks, with the reworked backend retries there is no
delay between those retries. This is a problem if a backend requires a
few seconds to reflect file deletions in the file listings. To work
around this problem, introduce a short exponentially increasing delay
between the retries. The number of retries is now increased to 4. This
results in delays of 5, 10 and 20 seconds between the retries.

Bugfix: Fix rare failures to retry locking a repository
Restic 0.17.0 could in rare cases fail to retry locking a repository if
one of the lock files failed to load. The lock operation failed with error
`unable to create lock in backend: circuit breaker open for file <lock/1234567890>`
The error handling has been fixed to correctly retry locking the repository.
In addition, restic now waits a few seconds between locking retries to
increase chances of success.
