- Client connection retrial logic scrapped. Being a leftover

  from early ages, when machines were slower and JACK server

  startup times were longer... now, if it can't connect first

  time as client, it will tear down the server whether it's

  starting up still or not at all. (cf. Setup/Settings/Start

  Delay for the rescue).
