[NETCONF-925] Rework optional reconnect logic

Blocks — Sat, 28 Oct 2023 00:37:24 +0000

Reconnection logic introduced in ~~NETCONF-611~~ is rather ugly, as it modifies lifecycle rather thoroughly and relies on datastore overwrites.

Migrate the logic into AbstractNetworkTopology, where it should react to RemoteDeviceHandler.onDeviceDisconnected() – which it is in control of, as it is passing the object it creates via createSalFacade().

Perhaps we should be triggering onDeviceFailed() and propagate the schema resolution exception, though – this needs some thought.

At any rate, NetconfDeviceBuilder should lose setNode(), as it should not be needed.
