Subject: [PATCH] device: Fix device removal on le-connection-abort-by-local

When a LE connection fails with le-connection-abort-by-local, temporary
devices are incorrectly removed from D-Bus, preventing clients from
retrying the connection.

The issue occurs when:
1. A connection attempt fails with ECONNABORTED (including the
   le-connection-abort-by-local case)
2. The device is added to the connect list for automatic retry
3. The temporary timer (30s by default) is not restarted
4. If the timer expires before the retry completes, the device is
   removed from D-Bus
5. Subsequent retry attempts fail with "device not found"

This commonly happens with devices that abort connections during
pairing or when incomplete GATT discovery triggers an abort.

The fix restarts the temporary timer when ECONNABORTED occurs, ensuring
the device remains available on D-Bus for the retry attempt. This
matches the behavior when new connection attempts are initiated, where
the timer is restarted to allow time for connection/pairing to complete.

Reproducer logs show:
- 14:19:37.374 - le-connection-abort-by-local, retry queued
- 14:19:56.343 - Device removed from D-Bus (~19s later)
- 14:19:56.606 - Retry fails: device not found on D-Bus

With this fix, the device remains available for the retry, allowing
the connection to succeed on subsequent attempts.
