Bug Fixes (BREAKING)

• Rename Exponential backoff to Quadratic
  The gix_utils::backoff::Exponential type actually implemented
  quadratic, not exponential, backoff. This renames it from
  Exponential to Quadratic.

  In exponential backoff, delays are a fixed base, often 2, raised to
  a power of a number that increases by one with each attempt. When
  the number that increases by one with each attempt is the base,
  raised to a fixed power, that is quadratic backoff.

  The intended behavior here was quadratic, as implemented. For
  example, in the tests, EXPECTED_TILL_SECOND lists the values 1,
  4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, and so on, which are ascending
  squares. If they were an exponential sequence, then they would look
  like 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, and so on.

  Thus, it is only the named that needed to be changed: the
  implementation was already as intended.
