Research direction

Start by locating ReconnectDelay and reading the current reconnect flow in pgxlisten. Determine the API shape needed to support exponential backoff and reconnect jitter, then define tests for the resulting delay behavior. Done means the reconnect policy supports the requested flexibility and its behavior is covered by tests.
