Exponential back off & Mask secrets from log

[svyotov]

• Check if there are clone errors
• Add newExponentialBackOff for clone operations (we have observed frequent DNS/network issues with GitHub - easy to recover from with a retry)
• Mask the GitHub token from the log

The fail is due to GitHub rate limit and not due to the PR to the best of my understanding.

Will close/reopen to force re-run.

It appears to be a Travis CI Mac OS API rate issue, similar post: actions/runner-images#602

Hi @svyotov, thanks for opening a PR for this! I would be happy to add the ability to retry on errors and use exponential back-off for this 🙂

There is only one issue I see with the current state of the PR: The PR introduces a 3rd-party dependency. For now ghbackup didn't need any 3rd-party library. Since exponential back-off is not a complex algorithm I would rather not introduce an external library for this. If you could change that, I would be happy to merge this :)
