[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.

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.

**Affects:** 2.20

Start with the Maven Surefire issue entry and trace the existing failed-test rerun configuration and retry handling. Determine where a per-attempt delay would be configured and verify that integration tests wait between retries without changing other rerun behavior.
