[cover] Allow reconnection if node has been disconnected or down
OTP-10523
Earlier, if the connection to a remote cover node was lost, all cover
data was lost and the cover_server on the remote node would die. This
would cause problems if there were cover compiled modules that would
still be executed since they would attempt to write to the no longer
existing ets tables belonging to the cover_server.
This commit changes this behavior so that the cover_server on the
remote node will survive connection loss and continue collecting cover
data. If the connection is re-established then the main node will sync
with the remote node again and cover data will not be lost (unless the
node was down).
