Rename reconnect_timer -> connect_timer
The former was misleading since the timer only applies to initial connection attempts, reconnection attempts being governed by watchdog_timer. The name is a historic remnant from a (dark, pre-OTP) time in which RFC 3539 was followed less slavishly than it is now, and the timer actually did apply to reconnection attempts. Note that connect_timer corresponds to RFC 6733 Tc, while watchdog_timer corresponds to RFC 3539 TwInit. The latter RFC makes clear that TwInit should apply to reconnection attempts. It's less clear if only RFC 6733 is read. Note also that reconnect_timer is still accepted for backwards compatibility. It would be possible to add an option to make reconnect_timer behave strictly as the name suggests (ie. ignore RFC 3539 and interpret RFC 6733 at face value; something that has some value for testing at least) but no such option is implemented in this commit.
