Improve Blazor reconnection experience.

- Updated text of reconnect dialog to be more clear.
- Added user feedback to the `Retry` event button click. The current flow is `Attempting to reconnect` -> `Failed to reconnect ... [Retry]` -> Click Retry -> `Attempting to reconnect`.
- Found that in cases where the server went away entirely the reconnect event would through unexpectedly preventing the reconnect display from handling a failed reconnect. Added a separate error flow to understand when the server went away/could not start a SignalR connection to.
- Could not find a great way to add tests for this scenario.
