net: stream: add a new option to automatically reconnect

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.
