I've seen a few instances where the rigctld process will have started, but the socket isn't open yet. In my systemd setup, which ensures rigctld is started before direwolf starts, direwolf can start and try to call rig_open and get a connection refused error. If the rig_open is tried a few seconds later, the connection opens just fine.
This change adds a retry loop which tries up to 5 times to run rig_open. If the call fails the 5 time, direwolf will exit.
