// URLRequestThrottlerEntry represents an entry of URLRequestThrottlerManager.
// It analyzes requests of a specific URL over some period of time, in order to
// deduce the back-off time for every request.
// The back-off algorithm consists of two parts. Firstly, exponential back-off
// is used when receiving 5XX server errors or malformed response bodies.
// The exponential back-off rule is enforced by URLRequestHttpJob. Any
// request sent during the back-off period will be cancelled.
// Secondly, a sliding window is used to count recent requests to a given
// destination and provide guidance (to the application level only) on whether
// too many requests have been sent and when a good time to send the next one
// would be. This is never used to deny requests at the network level.
