Closes issue #4338

Uses a wrapper function around both the signedHeader and validatorSet calls to the primary provider which attempts to retrieve the information 5 times before deeming the provider unavailable and replacing the primary provider with the first alternative before trying recursively again (until all alternatives are depleted)

Employs a mutex lock for any operations involving the providers of the light client to ensure no operations occurs whilst the new primary is chosen.

Commits:

* created swapProvider function

* eliminates old primary provider after replacement. Uses a mutex when changing providers

* renamed to replaceProvider

* created wrapped functions for signed header and val set

* created test for primary provider replacement

* implemented suggested revisions

* created Witnesses() and Primary()

* modified backoffAndJitterTime

* modified backoffAndJitterTime

* changed backoff base and jitter to functional arguments

* implemented suggested changes

* removed backoff function

* changed exp function to match go version

* halved the backoff time

* removed seeding and added comments

* fixed incorrect test

* extract backoff timeout calc into a function
