Handle Reconnect Logic about idel-irc HOT 3 OPEN

The problem is that onDisconnect won't be called by chrome.socket. Afaik there is nothing for detecting a disconnect let alone a reconnect. Maybe a PING message once in while and calling disconnect() in case the server doesn't respond will be enough?

You're right, I believe around here https://github.com/ZaneA/Idel-IRC/blob/master/ports/chrome/port.js#L81 is the place where it should detect for an error code while trying to read. It would also be useful to have a TimerService or something that can be used to periodically PING the server, even better might be to have it PING after a certain amount of inactivity.

With the Atom-Shell being opensourced (from github folks, see: https://github.com/atom/atom-shell), I believe that you can make this application a standalone multi-plataform with very little change.
