Description
Expected Behavior
From slack:
Use-Case: If we can't start workflow for an operation in X secs, we have a fallback option. Now, the fallback option AND workflow can't run concurrently. Hence, it's important that the start workflow deterministically succeeds or fails within X secs.
Actual Behavior
Currently retry options are not configurable.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating the Java SDK entry point for the start-workflow call and its retry configuration, then determine how callers could specify a bounded timeout. Done means the retry behavior is configurable so the call deterministically succeeds or fails within the requested interval, with tests covering that behavior.
