In some platform configurations, the SSE backoff calculation overflows which results in failing to schedule another backoff attempt via
asio::deadline_timer::expires_from_now.This PR refactors the backoff algorithm to use free functions which can be independently tested.
It fixes the bug by constraining the maximum backoff exponent based on the configurable max backoff parameter.
Finally, I've added some test vectors for large attempt values. In the bug report, the overflow happens at about 34 minutes which corresponded to 55 attempts.
