Automatic reconnections: Infinite by default, or not?

[codefenix-dev]

umrc-bridge automatically attempts to reconnect to the host in the event the connection is dropped.

Currently, by default, umrc-bridge makes a maximum of 10 attempts before giving up. This can be changed by specifying -r with a number on the command line. For example, specifying -r50 for 50 retries, or -r0 for infinite retries. This is explained in the docs under step 3 under Install Instructions, but I believe it gets overlooked since people seem to be unaware of it.

My rationale for 10 being the default is in case the MRC host goes offline for an extended period of time, in which case it's probably better to not have the bridge retry endlessly. But I'm interested in what others think.
