Description
If a new connection is established to the router using UDS and due to some reason the router is stopped, autobahn uses the same reconnect mechanism that it uses for TCP based transports.
IMO we could avoid doing the unneeded retry attempts if the UDS path doesn't exist. Having that feature would also mean that local clients can connect to the router instantly as soon as the UDS becomes available. (or at least on the next try if router workers take some time to fully start)

Research direction
Start by tracing Autobahn's Unix-domain-socket transport and its reconnect handling. Check the behavior when the router stops and the UDS path is absent, then verify that reconnect attempts wait for the socket to become available instead of repeatedly retrying while it does not exist.
