Re-read auth-user-pass file on (re)connect if required
Fixes trac #225 ('--auth-user-pass FILE' and '--auth-nocache' problem). This patch is based on the changes suggested by ye_olde_iron in the trac ticket. Also added a note to the manpage to inform people to use absolute paths when combining --auth-user-pass file and --auth-nocache.
