This pull request makes polling at future objects more efficient, in that a short-running job's future.result() should return faster than before.
Before this PR, the default polling interval was a constant of 15 seconds. After this PR, the default polling interval starts at 1 second, increases geometrically for subsequent polls, and is capped at a maximum of 15 seconds. If the user provides a number to the polling_interval argument, the polling interval will be a constant of this number (so no change from before this PR).
