This breaks out some methods from the connection loop to make it simpler
to manage and understand.
Some slight simplifications to remove the `seen` variable (we can filter
`nextDial` based on times are in the future or not, so we don't need to
track `seen`) and adding a minimum loop interval (5s) in case some
dialer goes haywire and requests a 0s redial interval or such.
Otherwise no significant behavioral changes.
