[SUREFIRE-1379] When rerunning failed tests, I want to be able to set a delay between each attempt, so the whole test suite doesn't fail due to a connection problem to 3rd party services.

Description

Some of my integration tests require access to 3rd party services that run in other machines, and sometimes those services stop responding due to network problems.

I want to be able to set a delay between each attempt to rerun a failed test, instead of rerunning everything in the same second, so tests that fail due to connection problems can have better chances of succeed.

Waiting 5 seconds between attempts, in my case, is way cheaper than rerunning everything again.
