qemu-char: Fix reconnect socket error reporting

If reconnect was set, errors wouldn't always be reported.
Fix that and also only report a connect error once until a
connection has been made.

The primary purpose of this is to tell the user that a
connection failed so they can know they need to figure out
what went wrong.  So we don't want to spew too much
out here, just enough so they know.
