Title: Add reauth delay

When a minion fails to decrypt the masters message after a masters restart, it immediately trys to re-authenticate. In larger environments this can cause a syn-flood on the master if all minions try to reconnect at once. This adds a random integer value between 0 and the set mount of seconds that the minion waits before trying to re-authenticate. If the setting is not set, nothing changes.
