The reconnect in not interactive mode is a bad idea - and there should be
disabled everywhere (it cannot to break any application - the behave of
script when a server is restarted must be undefined (100% if ON_ERROR_STOP
is active). In interactive mode it can be controlled by some psql session
variables like AUTOCOMMIT.
