Title: Adding "broken" event for when connection permanently goes down

Also documenting the "reconnecting" event.

Happy to discuss this further, but either way, when working with sharded Redis instances (for instance using https://github.com/blindsey/redis-shard) it's helpful to have some way to know when a Redis server seems to have totally gone down so that we can send out alerts, remove it from the cluster, spin up another server, etc.
