Evil retry loop on 403 in Swarming bot code somewhere

Project Member Reported by vadimsh@chromium.org, Dec 18 2016

Issue description

We've been switching Fuchsia bots prefix from 'fuchsia-*' to 'fuchsia-vm-*', and forgot to shutdown 10 old 'fuchsia-bot-*' bots (than no longer match new prefix).

They managed to send 16153 requests (all failing with HTTP 403) in span of 20 min. At peak, these requests constituted 16% of ALL Swarming traffic: http://shortn/_6SOHnul1Vr

Looks like most of these calls were to /bot/event and /bot/poll endpoints.

Bots should do retry less vigorously.
