commited to svn trunk (qjackctl 0.3.6.28+)

- 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).
