Start to restructure the Engine's connection to the backend (#674)

* Start to restructure the Engine's connectio to the backend

1) Add in a tearDown stub for when the Engine is torn down. This is now
   distinct from a 'close', which will not stop connect from trying
   again. Running tearDown will mark the connection to not be retried
   and close active connections.

2) Move the retry logic out of connect and into the constructor. It will
   attempt to reconnect at the same rate as we had previously.

3) The timeout will now only close the connection, not restart it.

* Don't continue on dead conn & setTimeout on init only

* Clean up extra setTimeout

* Keep track of connection timeouts and clear on close

* Fix tsc by defining Timeout
