In a few places in libvirt we busy-wait for events, for example qemu
creating a monitor socket.  This is problematic because:

 - We need to choose a sufficiently small polling period so that
   libvirt doesn't add unnecessary delays.

 - We need to choose a sufficiently large polling period so that
   the effect of busy-waiting doesn't affect the system.

The solution to this conflict is to use an exponential backoff.

This patch adds two functions to hide the details, and modifies a few
places where we currently busy-wait.
