default of kombu_missing_consumer_retry_timeout

This change the default of kombu_missing_consumer_retry_timeout

The initial value of 60 seconds, have been chosen because the default
rpc_response_timeout is 60. That means, the client doesn't wait for
its reply after rpc_response_timeout is reach, so we don't need
to retry it send it its reply more than rpc_response_timeout.

But the real intent of kombu_missing_consumer_retry_timeout is
to mitigate the side effect when the rabbitmq server(s) died/failover/restart.

So the question is more how long we expect the server(s) to come back
and all the oslo.messaging applications to reconnect.

In that case 60 seconds looks a bit high.

Also this 60 seconds have a sad side effect when we can't send the reply
when the rpc client is really gone (like nova-compute restart).
The rabbitmq connection to send the reply is hold during 60 seconds.

I propose 5 seconds because,i n case of failover or restart I expect
everything because normal in less that 5 seconds.
