Consider exporting or in some way exposing the default delay functions

[epmatsw]

In the previous major version of apollo-client, you could import buildDelayFunction from https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-client/blob/main/src/link/retry/delayFunction.ts. That was handy if you wanted to sometimes override the default behavior but then fall back to it in other cases. As an example, you could consider Retry-After headers when present, but otherwise invoke the default delay.

It would be nice to either re-add the export of that utility (also maybe buildRetryFunction), or to expose them in some other way so that we don't have to rebuild jitter handling and whatnot.

Hey @epmatsw 👋

Thanks for the request! I've put this topic on our team meeting tomorrow to see what we think about this. Thanks!

@epmatsw we met as a team this morning and think it is a good idea to expose this somehow. We are in the process of figuring out how best to expose the function, but hope to have something soon-ish. Thanks for the request!
