block/nbd: fix reconnect-delay
reconnect-delay has a design flaw: we handle it in the same loop where
we do connection attempt. So, reconnect-delay may be exceeded by
unpredictable time of connection attempt.

Let's instead use separate timer.

How to reproduce the bug:

1. Create an image on node1:
   qemu-img create -f qcow2 xx 100M

2. Start NBD server on node1:
   qemu-nbd xx

3. On node2 start qemu-io:

./build/qemu-io --image-opts \
driver=nbd,server.type=inet,server.host=192.168.100.5,server.port=10809,reconnect-delay=15

4. Type 'read 0 512' in qemu-io interface to check that connection
   works

Be careful: you should make steps 5-7 in a short time, less than 15
seconds.

5. Kill nbd server on node1

6. Run 'read 0 512' in qemu-io interface again, to be sure that nbd
client goes to reconnect loop.

7. On node1 run the following command

   sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 10809 -j DROP

This will make the connect() call of qemu-io at node2 take a long time.

And you'll see that read command in qemu-io will hang for a long time,
more than 15 seconds specified by reconnect-delay parameter. It's the
bug.

8. Don't forget to drop iptables rule on node1:

   sudo iptables -D INPUT -p tcp --dport 10809 -j DROP

Important note: Step [5] is necessary to reproduce _this_ bug. If we
miss step [5], the read command (step 6) will hang for a long time and
this commit doesn't help, because there will be not long connect() to
unreachable host, but long sendmsg() to unreachable host, which should
be fixed by enabling and adjusting keep-alive on the socket, which is a
thing for further patch set.
