Add a connect() function that connects to the ssh server, if this fails it does a retry algorithm until that fails and then the thread dies. If that works, consume from the given client and if that fails, allow for retrying using a new client (after a given consume_retry_delay delay). To maintain previous behavior the default of attempting to connect forever is provided when the number of connection_attempts is <= 0. Change-Id: I1a2cb764c7cef04b8137a7e4b05d9a4cc45498b0
