Corrected documentation on watch behavior in C API
Description
The C API Doxygen documentation states:
" .... If the client is ever disconnected from the service, even if the
disconnection is temporary, the watches of the client will be removed from
the service, so a client must treat a disconnect notification as an implicit
trigger of all outstanding watches."
This is incorrect as of v.3. Watches are only lost and need to be re-registered when a session times out. When a normal disconnection occurs watches are reset automatically on reconnection.
The documentation in zookeeper.h needs to be updated to correct this explanation.
