Complete Phase 2: Auto-reconnection and stability testing

Implement automatic connection recovery and long-duration testing infrastructure
to complete Phase 2 (Network Reliability) of the RSIPI improvement roadmap.

New Features:
- Auto-reconnection manager with configurable retry strategies
  - IMMEDIATE: Reconnect without delay
  - LINEAR_BACKOFF: Incremental retry delays
  - EXPONENTIAL_BACKOFF: Exponential retry delays
- Background watchdog monitoring (checks every 2 seconds)
- Reconnection statistics tracking (attempts, failures, timestamps)
- Optional callbacks for reconnection events (success/failure)
- 24-hour stability test script with comprehensive reporting
  - Configurable test duration and sample intervals
  - Real-time health monitoring and progress logging
  - Detailed JSON reports with timing and network statistics
  - Human-readable summary with health percentage

Modified Files:
- src/RSIPI/rsi_client.py
  - Added auto-reconnect integration with enable_auto_reconnect parameter
  - Start/stop auto-reconnect monitor in lifecycle methods
  - Clear metrics on reconnection to reset statistics

New Files:
- src/RSIPI/auto_reconnect.py (241 lines)
  - AutoReconnectManager class with background monitoring thread
  - ReconnectStrategy enum for retry behavior configuration
  - Watchdog timeout detection and automatic recovery
  - Reconnection verification with health checks

- tests/stability_test.py (365 lines)
  - StabilityTest class for long-duration testing
  - Command-line interface with argparse
  - Automatic log file generation with timestamps
  - Sample collection with configurable intervals
  - Statistical analysis and reporting
  - Graceful interruption handling (KeyboardInterrupt)

Phase 2 Status: ✅ COMPLETE
- ✅ Timing instrumentation (commit 6e8ea2e)
- ✅ Watchdog timer (commit 6e8ea2e)
- ✅ Network quality monitoring (commit 6e8ea2e)
- ✅ DiagnosticsAPI implementation (commit 6e8ea2e)
- ✅ Auto-reconnection with graceful recovery (this commit)
- ✅ 24-hour stability test infrastructure (this commit)

Next: Run stability test, then proceed to Phase 3 (KRL Coordination)
