getlantern/lantern#1969 Not returning any friends until load succeeds

Closes #1969 

I should note that I tested this to make sure that the happy path works (bring up friends dialog, add friend, reject friend).  The only way that I was able to reproduce the bug itself was by messing with the logic on the client that distinguishes between a known friend and a new suggestion.
Looks like this will go straight to 250^2 ms, which is a lot of milliseconds. So this will basically just go straight to maxDelay. That might be fine, but not intended I don't think.
