    oxenstored: Factor out Process.do_reconnect()
    
    The logic flow here is complicated.  In preparation to fix a bug, factor out
    reconnecting a xenbus connection, and fold History.reconnect into it's 
single
    caller.
    
    No functional change.
    
    This is part of XSA-512 / CVE-2026-79604.
