[change] Change bootup_delay default

We should decide a sensible default for bootup_delay. I think a value of 6 is reasonable (from 0 to 6 seconds startup delay, randomized).

We need to update: code, default confs and README:

6 seconds is rather targeted at small setups, right? For thousands or ten thousands of devices, this could be too small.

We could do up to 10 seconds to round it up a bit more. But the key is to help small systems to delay having to face scaling
issues too soon.
Large systems should have the resources to deal with tuning and scaling up and will necessarily have to adjust many settings of OpenWISP (application server, HTTP server, workers, different data storages) depending on their size.
