Description

As part of enhancing the AIMDBackoffManager, we'd like to introduce customizable backoff and probe strategies. This will enable users to provide their own custom strategies if needed, catering to different use cases and requirements.

Tasks:

1. Design an interface for the backoff and probe strategies.
2. Refactor the existing AIMDBackoffManager implementation to use the new strategy interfaces.
3. Create default backoff and probe strategy implementations based on the current implementation.
4. Update AIMDBackoffManager to accept custom strategy implementations through its constructor or setter methods.
5. Write unit tests to validate the custom strategy implementations.
6. Update the documentation and JavaDoc to reflect the new changes.
