Description
### Description
A request from a PLC customer,
"When a node-red instance is unable to communicate to an external data service, eg MQTT broker or InfluxDB we want to buffer the messages till the connection is restored and resend them."
This could be implemented at various levels and will need more in depth thought, initial possibilities to investigate:
Wrapper around the instance at the FF level
Something in Node-RED Core
Something within the nodes
A new node that can buffer in response to back pressure from the data service.
