Description

### [REQUIRED] Please fill in the following fields:

* Pre-built SDK
* Firebase C++ SDK version: 11.6.0
* Problematic Firebase Component: Auth
* Other Firebase Components in use: Database/Functions/Storage
* Platform you are using the C++ SDK on: Windows
* Platform you are targeting: Desktop

### [REQUIRED] Please describe the issue here:

Intermittent network connections can create high cpu-use situations for desktop applications.

#### Steps to reproduce:
- Sign into firebase auth.
- Close app.
- Remove internet.
- Open app and instantiate a user.

or

- interrupt internet access.

The following spams the console thousands of times:
```
INFO: USE_AUTH_EMULATOR not set.
INFO: USE_AUTH_EMULATOR not set.
```

This creates significant CPU load and overhead when the network connection is lost. I expect the attempt to connect to a live auth instance fails, but there is no rate limit on retries after time 'x', or graceful management of that particular scenario.
