Current value of restart pause is 5 seconds which feels
unduly long. Reduce it to 1 second.
User can still customize the delay using the first parameter for
"--connect-retry".
Also improve the description of "--connect-retry" in the
man page.

Arne had suggested this, but I failed to follow up:
Quoting from Message ID 11772d2a-4877-0ed0-2484-7ef66e059...@rfc2549.org

Btw. if we introduce this backoff mechansim I think it is safe to lower
the connect-retry small time from 5 to 1 since the potential for looping
very fast through the connection entries is not there anymore.
