Since the PR EventSource#125 fixed duplicate connections after reconnection by using a `connectionInProgress` lock to avoid function `connect()` be called duplicately. But it forgot to release the `connectionInProgress` lock when request error happends, in that case, our client can only retry for 1 time and never get the lock again. So it's needed to release the `connectionInProgress` lock when error happends. Signed-off-by: icy_fish <[email protected]>

I was seeing some weird behavior with a spotty server connection.
When the server caused some sort of parse error or network exchange error, the EventSource client would attempt to reconnect to the server (via
onConnectionClosed).The problem was that in between recognizing the network error, and actually reconnecting, there was a chance for another error to also force a reconection attempt. This would result in a new connection attempted for each error in that window. Thus 1 connection to the server with 2 errors would result in 2 new connections to the server. (see images below)
Repeat this a few times and you get a compounding problem:
At some point in this process the server began interfering with the error states meaning some connections were kept open without an error, but others would continue to proliferate double connections
I expected to only see a single re-connection after each error. After the fix this is the behavior.
