 This patch improves the server reconnect attempt used in mythcontext.

 A mythbusydialog is displayed while myth is trying to connect rather than
 just appearing with a blank background and a log message (dialog is
 disabled when a mythcontext server connection is made without a gui - eg.
 with mythshutdown).

 The reconnect algorithm is adjusted such that:[[BR]]
 1. Wakeup command is executed.[[BR]]
 2. Myth attempts to open a connection to the backend once every second
 until the reconnect timeout occurs or a connection is established.[[BR]]
 3. If the reconnect timeout is reached, the wakeup command will be issued
 again (as before), unless the max number of attempts have been executed.

 This is more efficient than before, where the reconnect attempt would not
 retry until the next wake command is executed.
