chg: limit reconnect attempts

Some users may have hg as a wrapper script which sets sensitive environment
variables (like setting up virtualenv). This will make chg redirect forever
because the environment variables are never considered up to date.
This patch adds a limit (10) for reconnect attempts and warn the user with
a possible solution if the limit is exceeded.
