Smart attempt to get missed chat messages in error scenarios #169

I just experienced an odd case where I missed a general chat message that other participants saw. I'm not sure if my work network went down, or if echoplexus bugged out.

We know which chat messages we have, so if we see that there are holes in the log we have so far, perhaps we should attempt to fill those small gaps? ie.,

Just saw message ID 2000
Just saw message ID 2002
We must have missed one & why? Try to pull it

message ID will not be sustainable for echoplexus as a distributed system, so it is unclear how this will work going forward
