Option to Restart when "Connection to Lavalink has been lost"

[jdkang]

What component of Red (cog, command, API) would you like to see improvements on?

Red

Describe the enhancement you're suggesting.

Intermittently one gets the message "Connection to Lavalink has been lost." which can be resolved by restarting the bot either through systemctl or !restart (assuming the systemd config file is setup correctly).

It would be nice to be able to configure the bot to just restart when this error is encountered as a form of self-healing.

Anything else?

This is an issue that has only affected our current release of the Lavalink.jar so far, and I expect it to be resolved on the next Red release that will include our next build.

I've been experiencing this issue a lot myself, having to restart about once a week or so. Do you have a rough estimate of when the next release will be?
