[PATCH RESEND v2 2/3] tpm2-cmd: Use dynamic delay to wait for self test result

[Alexander Steffen]

In order to avoid delaying the code longer than necessary while still
giving the TPM enough time to execute the self tests asynchronously, start
with a small delay between two polls and increase it each round.
