I wasn't sure if that meant I was supposed to work on this. If not,
please disregard.

Otherwise, the tests are in #48598 [1]. As for the name of the option
itself, I basically punted by going with `erc-reconnect-buffer' to try
and stay close to `erc-join-buffer'. If that doesn't matter, perhaps
`erc-reconnect-display' would be a better fit since we already have an
`erc-query-display' (even though that one's not as closely related).
Anyone with an opinion, please advise. Thanks.
