[STORM-763] nimbus reassigned worker A to another machine, but other
worker's netty client can't connect to the new worker A
(This PR builds on [STORM-839](https://github.com/apache/storm/pull/566),
so it includes its changes)
While I'm not 100% certain if it's the same issue, I also saw these
messages logged a lot (hundreds per second per machine).
Upon investigation, I found that after firing a connection request,
`Client.Connector` waits synchronously for the connection. Because there is
only one scheduler thread per worker by default, this means only one connection
request per worker process can be serviced at a time. This becomes a problem
when connections are lost frequently for whatever reason, and is especially
exacerbated when each connection attempt takes time.
Commit `aa5c2d71` changes the code so that the `Connector` fires & forgets
the connection request, and lets Netty's callback thread handle the rest. There
is no blocking or expensive operation done here, so using Netty's thread should
be fine.
This change did decrease the amount of ERROR logs in my topology, but I
still saw a fair amount. Upon investigation, I found that this is simply
because each call to `send` produces an ERROR log. So `ad8112d10` changes the
code so that a connection error is exactly logged twice; once when the
connection error is detected, and the second time when the re-connection is
concluded (either a successful re-connect, or permanent failure).

Remove background flushing because it doesn't seem necessary. Netty's
Channel queues up written data on an unbounded buffer. The background flushing
seems to have been added to avoid this, but in practice it was probably doing
it anyways because flushMessages(), which is called by send() doesn't check for
isWritable. Moreover, queuing on an unbounded buffer seems fine because back
pressure is provided by MAX_PENDING_TUPLE. If OOME occurs due to this buffer
overflowing, it seems reasonable that one has to reduce MAX_PENDING_TUPLE,
rather than Storm trying to cope with it by dropping messages.

Do not block in Connector. This task runs on a single (by default) thread
that is shared among all Clients. If the task blocks, other reconnection
requests can't be processed, resulting in a lot of messages being dropped. By
not blocking, the thread should be able to service reconnection requests a lot
quicker.
