Replicator DB: on restart, make several attempts to restart the replications

Now on restart, the replicator database listener will make up to 10 attempts
to restart each replication. Before each attempt, it waits, using an exponential
backoff strategy, before doing the next attempt.
This is very useful because when one server restarts, other servers that are          
endpoints of its replications, may not be online yet.
