In stream mode, if the server shuts down there is currently
no way to reconnect the client to a new server without removing
the NIC device and the netdev backend (or to reboot).
This patch introduces a reconnect option that specifies a delay
to try to reconnect with the same parameters.
Add a new test in qtest to test the reconnect option and the
connect/disconnect events.

I think this should get a "(since 8.0)" comment to make it clear when it has
been introduced?
Yes, you're right. It will be in the next patch version.
Thanks,
Laurent
