The simplest approach might be to just change the default values of
`erc-join-buffer' and `erc-auto-query' to 'bury. However, if people want
something different to happen when automatically reconnecting, we'd
probably have to remember whether `erc-server-reconnect-count' was ever
positive before crossing the logical connection threshold for the
current session.

This may come down to having `erc-connection-established' record the
count prior to resetting it (perhaps in a new, internal variable). And
then, during re-JOINs, `erc-setup-buffer' could weigh that recorded
value against some new option, like an `erc-display-reconnect' (or
whatever), and proceed accordingly.
