QEMU's "reconnect" option of "-netdev stream" tells QEMU to
periodically (period is given in seconds as an argument to the option)
attempt to reconnect to the same passt socket to which it had
originally connected to. This is useful in cases where the passt
process terminates, and libvirtd starts a new passt process in its
place (which doesn't happen yet, but will happen automatically after
an upcoming patch in this series).
Since there is no real hueristic for determining the "best" value of
the reconnect interval, rather than clutter up config with a knob that
nobody knows how to properly twiddle, we just set the reconnect timer
to 5 seconds.
"-netdev stream" first appeared in QEMU 7.2.0, but the reconnect
option won't be available until QEMU 8.0.0, so we need to check QEMU
capabilities just in case someone is using QEMU 7.2.0 (and thus can
support passt backend, but not reconnect)
