Revert "On the advice of Martin Hurton, removed the new command type and just terminated the pipe in a reconnect situation, and notified the socket of the same. This handles the blocking properly, but at the cost of potentially losing in flight messages. However, this is a reasonable trade off given how much simpler it makes the patch."

This reverts commit c13f1d52ff.
