CLI added. But I see this may be a duplicate indeed. |

Why default to true here? I feel like false would make more sense

Also only made it default for the cli. On the API, defaults can only cause problems in my experience.

Adds a new endpoint to connect to a peer on the Lightning Network without opening a channel. This is useful for establishing connections before channel operations or for maintaining peer connectivity. The endpoint accepts node_pubkey, address, and a persist flag that indicates whether the peer should be re-connected on restart. Also adds client library and CLI support for the new endpoint.

Adds a new endpoint to connect to a peer on the Lightning Network without opening a channel. This is useful for establishing connections before channel operations or for maintaining peer connectivity.
The endpoint accepts node_pubkey, address, and an optional persist flag that defaults to true for automatic reconnection on restart.
Needed this endpoint when working on #108. Nodes sometimes seems very slow to auto-reconnect, or not reconnect at all?
