Control: retitle -1 network-manager: does not attempt to reconnect after a temporary wifi failure in case of link timed out

Clarified the title. NetworkManager attempts to reconnect after
a CTRL-EVENT-BEACON-LOSS (signaled by wpa_supplicant, but this
seems to be a recent kernel bug, according to many reports about
this), but the no-reconnect issue occurs only after NetworkManager
says "device (wlp61s0): link timed out.", which appears to be a
more important temporary wifi failure (perhaps the SSID was not
visible for a longer period).

I'd say that this is the same issue: not everyone can reproduce it
with IWD, and no-one else posted logs. I suppose that this depends
on the kind of error, as I could see with wpa_supplicant.
