Fix retry logic for vibrator HAL requests

Update VibratorHalController to only reconnect with the IVibrator HAL
service and retry the operation if a transaction error or dead object
code is received.

This will avoid retrying vibrator calls with bad values when the error
code is illegal argument, for example, or when the vibrator is
returning illegal state.
