When a connection is lost to the broker and later resumed the token
returned to the user will be considered completed and a new token will
be created instead. The result of this is that there is no way for a
user of this library to know whether a message has been delivered in the
presence of connection issues.

This PR documents the behavior found in #563

* `persistence` - Defaults to false (messages will not survive a broker restart)
* `max_keepalive` - defaults to 65535 and, from version 2.0.12, `SetKeepAlive(0)` will result in a rejected connection
by default.
* `token.Wait()` - Will return successfully before a message has been delivered if the client needs to reconnect to the broker before the message has been delivered.

Move up above the "If using Mosquitto then there are a range of fairly common issues:" line (as this is not specific to Mosquitto). I would suggest something like the following (to mirror the format of previous comments and reflect the impact of options):

Publish tokens will complete if the connection is lost and re-established using the default options.SetAutoReconnect(true) functionality (token.Error() will return nil). Attempts will be made to re-deliver the message but there is currently no easy way to monitor this.
