bootstrap: Increase InitialVotingInterval to improve reliability

Tor 0.3.4 changed callbacks so they can happen at the end of every
event loop, rather than once per second. Also, when multiple
dirvote_act() actions are due, one action is processed per callback,
rather than all actions being processed in the same callback.

Fixes 27300.
