Title: Added a splay to the delay time for retried jobs. [Fixes #480]

The amount of splay increases as the number of failures increases. The maximum amount of splay is equal to 30 * (the number of times the job has failed, plus 1). For the default max retries setting, the maximum splay would be 780 seconds.
