[PATCH] increase network try interval gradually

[Paulo Flabiano Smorigo <pfsmorigo@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

Hi all,

This patch changes GRUB net interval gradually over time to avoid timeout
problems. I'm currently doing tests in a network with heavy traffic. In this
network GRUB fails with the original timeout value.
