Hold MIDI reconnects a dropped peer from the Mac side

Browse Source 
macOS's MIDINetworkSession API only reaches the default session (blank and
disabled on NA Ingest and NA Tracks), so coremidi.connect_peer writes the
named session's "apple.midirtp.session" settings with the peer added, as
Audio MIDI Setup's Connect does. Existing peers are passed back unchanged.
The watchdog remembers each peer's last address (config "address" is the
fallback) and runs it locally for NA Ingest's session or over SSH on the
Tracks Mac for NA Tracks' (FX lights). Checked live: both Macs answer
"already" while the Lighting PC is connected.
