feat: reconnect on disconnect (add status to TUI)

- add `Connected()` method for client
- add `LastErr` field to GoTomatoClient
  - replace error logging by updating `LastErr` field
  - modify methods to use pointer receivers for Client
- add `prevMessage` variable to store the last received server message
- show connect status in TUI
- use EnterAltScreen instead of ClearScreen
