python-asyncio: update retry factors for actual exponential retries (#19337)
* python-asyncio: update retry factors for actual exponential retries

As per the `aiohttp-retry` library's code[^1], the timeout is

```python
timeout = self._start_timeout * (self._factor ** attempt)
```

This means the previous setting with "start_timeout=0.0" would have
always just retried right away (0 timeout) regardless of the "factor" value,
and also, "factor=0.0" would never have increased the timeout, rather it
would have resulted in a 0 timeout regardless of the value of "start_timeout".

This double-zeroing effectively rendered exponential backoff to nothing (rather than
"retries" number of retries in quick succession.

The update is a quick fix to set the same default as in `aiohttp-retry`. In
the future this should likely be configurable (through extra Configuration settings perhaps?),
as not all APIs are created equal, but this works as a quick fix for making retries more effective.
