Roster tab: show as "inactive" when disconnected from server
Sometimes, poezio will just not try hard enough to reconnect c2s. Other times, it will use an exponential backoff mechanism and stay disconnected during prolonged periods of time.
The roster tab should be rendered "inactive" / grey in the tab list when there is no active c2s connection.
