Reduce default restart pause to 1 second
Current value of restart pause is 5 seconds which feels
unduly long. Reduce it to 1 second.
User can still customize the delay using the first parameter for
"--connect-retry".
Also improve the description of "--connect-retry" in the
man page.
v2 changes:
- fix incomplete man page edit as pointed out by Arne Schwabe
- fix man page (rst) changes as suggested by Frank Lichtenheld
