Description of the new feature/enhancement

Automatically attempt to reconnect terminated sessions.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

In profiles.json, profile.closeOnExit, add a "reconnect" option that automatically reconnects a terminated session alternatively keeps attempting to do so every, say, ten seconds until connection is made or tab is closed.

Description

When I wake up my computer from hibernation alternatively restart a remote server, I'd like to not have to manually reopen tabs.
