[HADOOP-3771] JobClient.runJob() should not kill the job on IOExceptions

Description

Currently the JobClient.runJob() submits a job to the job tracker and then periodically asks the JT for the job's progress. On successive IOExceptions the JobClient kills the job. This is not a desired behaviour since the JobClient is issuing a kill-job command to the JT which is not reachable. This is a problem for HADOOP-3245 since its highly possible that the JT can come up anytime and then it makes no sense to kill the job.
