Display connected status of remote Ratflectors

[dranch]

It would be very helpful to add a connected/disconnected indicator under Config --> Radio for various ratflectors. Maybe a green vs. blue vs "white fill in a circle" indicator in column to the right of the "port" name to indicate connected, connecting, or disconnected.

It would be good to also know if D-rats does any periodic retries if it couldn't connect to the ratflector? It might be too complex / UI overload to show a counter of connection attempts per ratflector.

Wish there were a voting or "like" button for what David mentioned above.

D-Rats tries to connect a few times to a ratflector until it gives up. Entering the config radio section and then saving will start it trying to connect to the ratflectors. Python 3 version will attempt to reconnect to a ratflector after it has once connected to it successfully and then lost the connection. However detecting some disconnections seems to have a problem.

I think I would like a way to see the ratflector status with out having to go into the config screen. Need to think about the best way to handle the display.
