Title: (#16723) Use a fibonacci-like backoff sequence for SSH retries

Previously, all retries would use a 20-second delay. This patch uses a backoff sequence which allows for more immediate results when the connection issue is resolved quickly.

I would like @dpittman to make sure this looks reasonable for his use case before it gets merged.
