make scrape_series_added negative when the number of series decreased

This commit adds a rpc retry by dialing a new connection instead of
getting an old one from the connection pool when the previous rpc error
is `io.EOF`.

It helps prevent broken connections from remaining for too long and
causing failed requests and partial responses during `vmstorage` rolling
restart period
