esp_mqtt_client_reconnect() is honoured only from MQTT_STATE_WAIT_RECONNECT, so
the post-correction path minted a fresh token, staged it, and then asked a
connected client to reconnect — a request esp-mqtt refuses. The slot kept running
on the token the clock correction had just proven stale, and recovery became
broker-driven rather than the clean reconnect this code intends.
Split the three states the path can find: a stopped or waiting client goes through
reconnectSlotClient() as before, and a live one has its transport closed first.
Only where the broker enforces exp, though — waev leaves live sessions alone past
expiry, so bouncing it would spend the 16 KiB contiguous handshake that the rest of
this branch exists to avoid.
Not a regression: the base branch called client->reconnect() directly at the same
site. On ESP32 the block is reachable from the WiFi-reconnect resync and the CLI
forced sync; the hourly refresh uses refreshNTP(), which does not carry it.
