Description
### What
In case mw::com is used with a network binding, the connection between StateManager and LaunchManager may not be established immediately. It will take time to do the service discovery.
Currently, there is no clear way to wait until the connection is established other than doing e.g. Polling of ``´get_active_run_target()` until it no longer reports `kCommunicationError`.
A nicer way would be to introduce something like `wait_until_connected(timeout)` or `is_connected()` for this purpose.
Example:
```cpp
auto result = ILmControl::Create("my/instance");
// check for error...
// ..
auto lmcontrol = std::move(result.value());
auto result = lmcontrol->wait_until_connected(100ms);
if(result) {
// connection is established.
// calls may still fail if connection goes away (mostly relevant with network binding)
}
```
