------------------------------+--------------------------------
 We want to be able to configure a once-off delay before starting
 exponential increases with a low initial delay.

 This would be used for bridge descriptors, client authority bootstrap, and
 test networks.

 Follow-up to #20499, #20597, and #20534.
