connectContext() throws std::runtime_error when pa_context_connect() fails. It was called directly from contextStateCb (the libpulse mainloop thread, running pure-C callback frames) on the PA_CONTEXT_FAILED reconnect path, so on a pipewire/pulse restart the exception unwound across the C callback boundary and triggered std::terminate/SIGABRT. Add reconnectContext() noexcept which wraps connectContext() and logs failures instead of throwing, and use it from the callback. Guard against the FAILED -> connect -> FAILED recursion/busy loop with a reentrancy flag. The constructor-time connectContext() still throws as before. Fixes #5141.
