virtio-devices: Abort vhost-user client connect on kill_evt

Client connect retried for a full minute on every failure and did not
watch kill_evt for early exit, unlike reconnect, so teardown and
permanent connect errors both stalled for CONNECT_TIMEOUT.

Update the client path to watch kill_evt for early abort, fail
non-retryable errors immediately, and surface timeout with a dedicated
error.

Partially Fixes #8052
