Can 0 be no reconnect and -1 be forever retry?

Services map[string]flatend.Handler

// Total number of attempts to reconnect to a peer we reached that disconnected.
// Default is 8 attempts, set to a negative integer to not attempt to reconnect at all.

I tried to figure a way to do that, though I wonder how we could force the default value for NumReconnectAttempts to be 8 in that case. The only idiomatic way I could think of is to switch to functional options, or to encapsulate options into a separate Options struct with sensible defaults, though might you have any suggestions?

When I do services in Go, typically I create some kind of config object which can be use by main.go. So the main program is the one that is setting the defaults. User can then set parameters on main.go to override the defaults.

@lithdew Why did you choose 8 as default?
