feat(session): add auto-reconnect on session errors

Implements automatic reconnection when session errors occur to prevent "zombie" connections.

Problem:
- Session errors leave connection open but non-functional
- Messages silently fail to send/receive
- User unaware that reconnection is needed
- No automatic recovery from key desynchronization

Solution:
- Auto-reconnect on 'creds.update' error event
- Exponential backoff to prevent flooding
- Max attempts limit for safety
- Proper cleanup before each reconnect attempt

Protections Implemented:
1. Max attempts guard (5 attempts, then give up gracefully)
2. Exponential backoff (1s, 2s, 4s, 8s, 16s, cap at 30s)
3. Reset counter on successful reconnect
4. Cleanup before reconnect (await end() first)

Benefits:
- Automatic recovery from session errors
- No message loss (MessageRetryManager handles queuing)
- No impact on normal operations (only on error)
- Observable: logs show attempts, delays, success/failure
- Prevents indefinite retry loops (max attempts)

Cross-file analysis:
- MessageRetryManager handles message queuing (src/Utils/message-retry-manager.ts)
- WhatsApp protocol buffers messages during disconnect
- end() function properly cleans up resources (socket.ts:776)
- connect() function re-establishes connection (defined in socket.ts)

Invariant verification:
- Never more than MAX_RECONNECT_ATTEMPTS (5) attempts
- Always calls end() before connect() (prevents multiple connections)
- Exponential backoff prevents rate limiting
- Counter resets on success (fresh start for next error)

Message handling during reconnect:
- Outgoing: MessageRetryManager queues failed messages
- Incoming: WhatsApp server buffers messages until reconnect
- After reconnect: Both queues are processed automatically
- Zero message loss guaranteed by existing systems
