connectd: avoid use-after-free upon multiple reconnections by a peer

Browse source 
`peer_reconnected` was freeing a `struct peer_reconnected` instance
while a pointer to that instance was registered to be passed as an
argument to the `retry_peer_connected` callback function. This caused a
use-after-free crash when `retry_peer_connected` attempted to reparent
the instance to the temporary context.

Instead, never have `peer_reconnected` free a `struct peer_reconnected`
instance, and only ever allow such an instance to be freed after the
`retry_peer_connected` callback has finished with it. To ensure that the
instance is freed even if the connection is closed before the callback
can be invoked, parent the instance to the connection rather than to the
daemon.

Absent the need to free `struct peer_reconnected` instances outside of
the `retry_peer_connected` callback, there is no use for the
`reconnected` hashtable, so remove it as well.
