output: delay reopen after device failure

When one of several output devices failed, MPD tried to reopen it
quite often, wasting a lot of resources.  This patch adds a delay:
wait 10 seconds before retrying.  This might be changed to exponential
delays later, but for now, it makes the problem go away.
