Make multiple attempts to sanity check (GCE) and validate (ALL) cluster

This PR changed the sanity check for GCE cluster creation to make multiple attempts to deal with slow cluster birth. It also performs a more detailed check of the Docker installation (by ensuring kubernetes/pause can be found). It also adjusts validate-cluster.sh (for all providers) to make multiple attempts to validate a cluster.

Before, even when creating a modest sized cluster (say, 12 nodes), these steps failed not because there was anything wrong with the cluster but just because these steps can be slow and we don't retry.
Here too (and on the line above) you can drop the `$` and I think keeping the spacing around the `+` operator is more common style, possibly around the `$((` as well similar to the `(( attempt > 5 ))` on your `if` statement:

```shell
attempt=$(( attempt + 1 ))
```
