bug#50007: 28.0.50; normalize logic surrounding erc-server-reconnecting

[J.P.]

Tags: patch

Knowing when we're reconnecting and having that logic be as sane and
straightforward as possible is (IMO) a critical component of unraveling
the buffer-association game I've been trying to drag everyone into.

The existing approach is troublesome because it's basically inscrutable
in the sense of being too difficult to sit down and reason through once
session identities enter the fray (at least for a simpleton like me).
And though the solution I'm proposing may seem underwhelming, it wasn't
just intuited out of thin air but rather discovered with the backing of
behavioral tests like the ones included in these patches [1]. Thanks.
