fix: retry connection on network error instead of permanently dropping it

error_received() no longer sets _dead=True; it just closes the transport
so the existing retry loop in heartbeat_sender (hbc) and sendto (hbc_mini)
reopens the connection on the next interval. This allows hbc to recover
when it starts before network connectivity is established.
