New features:

• #127 Retry logic for the AMQP Client of the service SDK (to retry connecting and sending C2D messages)

Retries in azure-iothub.Client

Before this release, the SDK user had to manually manage if the Client was connected or not before sending C2D messages and eventually called connect. if not connected. it was also mandatory to listen to the disconnect event.

With the new AMQP state machine and Client introduced in this release, sending C2D messages automatically handles connecting the client if necessary, and retries connecting and sending messages (if the error can be retried, such as a timeout). this is done using the azure-iot-common.ExponentialBackoffWithJitter policy. it is possible to modify the retry policy using the Client.setRetryPolicy API.

Please note: the current retry logic does not include the FeedbackReceiver and FileNotificationReceiver objects: this is in our backlog but if you are using those for now, you should still listen to the disconnect event and call getFeedbackReceiver and getFileNotificationReceiver manually to re-establish the link. Calling any of these APIs will also automatically connect the client.
