Make retry time in HttpCommandExecutor configurable

[lukeis]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 6803

In HttpCommandExecutor.fallBackExecute (which AFAICS is always used), a call is retried
after 2 seconds when it fails the first time.

There appears to be a bug in PhantomJS that causes it to sometimes close the webdriver
connection without any response (https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/issues/11875).

Because of this, it turns out our regression test suite spent more than 50% of its
running time sleeping.

Now of course the real fix is to fix the bug in PhantomJS. But for the time being,
it would be tremendously useful to be able to override the retry-time and change it
from 2 seconds to something like 200ms.

Are you talking about the call when the NoHttpResponseException is seen?

I'm not sure which of the 2 'sleep' calls (when NoHttpResponseException is seen or when
BindException is seen) got hit the most in our case, but IMHO it'd make sense to make
both configurable (possibly with 1 option).
