implement fast reconnects

when a peer drops to IDLE, we have to force him in IDLE for some time to
prevent fast flapping. however, the forced idle time is annoying when the
connection could be re-established immediately, i. e. bgpctl nei $peer clear
or similar.
implement an error counter per peer, increased every time we receive a
notification. when we are in state IDLE and get a connection from the peer
in question, check if the error counter is 1 or smaller. if so, change state
to active and accept the connection, otherwise keep the current behaviour
and reject the connection.
the error counter gets scaled back by the IdleHoldResetTimer that scales the
IdleHoldTime back as well
