For some reason, I sometimes restart the pulseaudio server (pipewire-pulse actually). But after restart, waybar's pulseaudio module just stop updating. The solution is to restart the whole waybar.
So I think it would be better if waybar itself could reconnect to pulseaudio server after it restarts.
The pulseaudio context connection would failed according to the documentation. So we can simply reconnect the context there.
Tested on waybar latest git version and pipewire-pulse 1.0.0
Fixes: #2619
PS: I am not so good at C++ actually. So I am sorry if I do something stupid. :)
