api: block Connect() on failure if Reconnect > 0

This patch makes Connect() retry connection attempts if opts.Reconnect
is greater than 0. The delay between connection attempts is
opts.Reconnect. If opts.MaxReconnects > 0 then the maximum number of
attempts is equal to it, otherwise the maximum number of attempts is
unlimited. Connect() now also blocks until a connection is established,
provided context is cancelled or the number of attempts is exhausted.

Closes #436

+- Connect() now retry the connection if a failure occurs and opts.Reconnect > 0.
+  The number of attempts is equal to opts.MaxReconnects or unlimited if
+  opts.MaxReconnects == 0. Connect() blocks until a connection is established,
+  the context is cancelled, or the number of attempts is exhausted (#436).

 The release extends box.info responses and ConnectionPool.GetInfo return data.
