Support configurable retry policy for WebSocket reconnections

[meteor199]

Currently stompjs does not provide configurable options for retrying WebSocket reconnections after disconnects.

It would be very helpful if stompjs could support custom retry policies through configuration options, similar to the reconnection options provided in socket.io:

https://socket.io/docs/v4/client-options/#randomizationfactor

The key options are:

• reconnectionAttempts
• reconnectionDelay
• reconnectionDelayMax
• randomizationFactor

With configurable retry, users can implement backoff retry, customize max intervals and attempts according to their needs.

@kum-deepak any updates?

[akaNightmare]

trying to pass some headers into subscribe methods

• activemq.reconnectionAttempts
• activemq.reconnectionDelay
• etc

and have no luck, I assumed it should be handled by AMQ, but probably it's not working via WS connection

As part of 7.1.0, reconnectTimeMode with the options exponential and linear has been implemented. The exponential mode supports a maximum back-off period. Currently, no more work on this feature has been planned.

I will keep this ticket open with the 'help wanted' tag.
