Description

HBASE-5058 retained the old behavior of managed HConnections not retrying their connection to master b/c of the "masterChecked" variable.

This behavior isn't great though, because you can get in the following situation:
1) Connect to master using HBaseAdmin
2) Master goes down
3) New master takes over
4) The HBaseAdmin object is now useless

The client needs to create a new HBaseAdmin in this case.
