-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 For the reason explained on ticket
 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/6287 this ticket propose
 the improvement of the reconnection attempt logic of a Tor client when
 using a Socks or Http Proxy server to connect to the internet and thus to
 the Tor network.

 Free socks server are often reliable and by empirical experiments with
 proxychains, it happen that it's required to make 3-4 connection attempt
 in order to successful use a specific socks server.

 This ticket propose to reconnect quickly, in a slightly more aggressive
 way, in case a connection to a Socks or Proxy server of Tor Client fail
 for whatever reason.

 This could improve the use experience when using Socks server to connect
 with a Tor Client.
