reconnect: Add connection attempt limiting feature.

Sometimes it is useful to limit the number of connection attempts, either
from policy or because it is not possible to reconnect at all (e.g. because
a connection was accepted from a listening socket instead of made with
connect()).  This commit adds that feature.
