/**
 * Retries the given function until it succeeds given a number of retries and an interval between them. They are set
 * by default to retry 5 times with 1sec in between. There's also a flag to make the cooldown time exponential

 * @param {Function} fn - Returns a promise
 * @param {Number} retriesLeft - Number of retries. If -1 will keep retrying
 * @param {Number} interval - Millis between retries. If exponential set to true will be doubled each retry
 * @param {Boolean} exponential - Flag for exponential back-off mode
