Description:
There is no reconnection function in Connector/C++.
My network is poor,so sometimes the connection is down, 
but cannot reconnect the server automatically

In Connector/C there is a function is:mysql_ping()
But in Connector/C++ does not, Always cause the program crash down.

pls pay attention to this, thanks.

How to repeat:
close the network connection

In Connector/J Connection class has ping() and isValid() methods, while I do not see anythings like this in Connector/C++. I'd say this is something to fix.

Committed as rev#990.
Added Connection::isValid() which checks whether connection is alive, and 
Connection::reconnect() which reconnects if connection has died.

Noted in 1.1.5 changelog.

These functions were added: Connection::isValid() checks whether the
connection is alive, and Connection::reconnect() reconnects if the
connection has gone down.
