* Updated code with feedback from @melekes, @ebuchman and @silasdavis.
* Added Makefile clause `release` to only run the test on seeing tag
`release` during releases i.e
```shell
make release
```
which will run the comprehensive and long integration-ish tests.

An error message instead would be nice.
```
Now GoPath() is a function instead of a variable.
Fixes https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues/751.
Adds jitter to our exponential backoff to mitigate a self DDOS
vector. The jitter is a randomly picked percentage of a second
whose purpose is to ensure that each exponential backoff retry
occurs within (1<<attempts) == 2**attempts, but with the delay
each client will have a random buffer time before it tries to
reconnect instead of all at once reconnections that might even
bring back the previous conditions that might have caused the
dial to the WSServer to have failed e.g
* Network outage
* File descriptor exhaustion
* False positives from firewalls
etc
