Create connect() and disconnect()

[scottn12]

As described in #8745, Container.connect() and Container.disconnect() will be introduced to provide developer-friendly APIs to control the connection state of a container. The functionality of connect() will be similar to the current Container.resume() (will be deprecated in #9167). disconnect() will have simlar functionality to the current Container.setAutoReconnect(false) API call (also deprecated in #9167).

Phases:

• Add connect() and disconnect() to Container and IContainer #9744
• Add connect() and disconnect() to IFluidContainer #9745
• Add tests for connect() and disconnect() #9746
• Make connect()/disconnect() mandatory on IContainer and IFluidContainer #9945
• Explore behavior if disconnect() is called while the container is attempting to connect #9789

@scottn12 - I believe manual connect/disconnect capability already exists, as resume() to connect and setAutoReconnect(false) to disconnect. Can you articulate what behavior changes you envision introducing with these new APIs, compared to these existing options? Or is this just about API naming?

@markfields, I had initially planned for these APIs to have slightly different functionality. However, based on the latest design discussions in #8745, I believe these functions are going to be more about API naming as you alluded to. I will be sure to update the description of this issue once we get a bit more clarification!

FYI, this issue has been updated to reflect the changes in #8745
