Research direction

Start by tracing Errbot's XMPP connection handling and configuration for the reconnect behavior described in the issue. The payload names no source files or tests, so locate the relevant XMPP backend entry points and existing connection tests first. Done means a configurable reconnect option is implemented and its behavior is covered by tests.
