Expose auto-reconnect knobs

We still have the “new API” issue open, where a whole new, “better” API was discussed - we no final conclusion yet. But we need auto-reconnect now. So here is a pragmatic approach with only slight API changes, which would allow to handle reconnects, as well as more flexibility.

• Rename autobahn.twisted.wamp.ApplicationSession to autobahn.twisted.wamp.Component
• Rename autobahn.twisted.wamp.ApplicationRunner to autobahn.twisted.wamp.Client
• A Client can have instances of Components be added, and then the Client can be started:

component = Component(extra={u'foo': u'bar'})
client = Client(url=u'ws://localhost:8080/ws')
client.connect(realm=u'realm1', autoreconnect=True)
react(client.start)

The Client.start() method returns a Deferred that fires when the Component.onDisconnect() callback ends and does not recall into Component.connect().

The Component.onDisconnect() callback can call Component.connect() to reconnect, or can return a plain or deferred value or exception.

When Component.onDisconnect() ends, the Client.start() method will end.

The autoreconnect option on the Client.connect() method activates a default implementation of Component.onDisconnect() which does not end, but reconnects the component.

… But we need auto-reconnect now …

For sure … I really think there are a lot of autobahn-python new users, which could be completely disappointed about this auto-reconnect missing feature. Nowadays, in the connected area, with smartphones which loose frequently the connection … an autobahn component is useless.

I really think it’s really most important than a new api

this has been fixed, pls see https://github.com/crossbario/autobahn-python/blob/299a6560cc8bd8e3ad7c02acf6cf15cf15cee87b/autobahn/twisted/wamp.py#L118
