LP#1919502 C listener backlog loop speedbump
When the request backlog contains items in the C forking code, attempts
to process the request run in a tight loop without stopping until the
backlog is once again empty.  This can lead to spewing "Could not launch
a new child" warning messages at a high rate, saturating log files.

This commit adds a 1 second speed bump between backlog processing loops
to allow time for drones to complete their task and start processing the
remaining queued requests.  The delay has a secondary affect of limited
the speed of the warning log spewing.

This 1-second speedbump logic matches that of the Perl code.
