[PATCH] blacklist: allow configuration to disable the blacklist

[PATCH] blacklist: allow configuration to disable the blacklist

[James Prestwood]

Certain use cases may not need or want this feature so allowing it to
be disabled is a much cleaner way than doing something like setting
the timeouts very low.

Now [Blacklist].InitialTimeout can be set to zero which will prevent
any blacklisting.

In addition some other small changes were added:
 - Warn if the multiplier is 0, and set to 1 if so.
 - Warn if the initial timeout exceeds the maximum timeout.
 - Log if the blacklist is disabled
 - Use L_USEC_PER_SEC instead of magic numbers.
