On Android, there is a race between making new RPCs and reconnecting after network comes back. If the former happens first, RPCs fail immediately. This is because resetConnectBackoff() does not update the picker before trying to reconnect and new RPCs are sent with the old picker, which fails RPCs immediately. In this change, we move to use enterIdle(), which updates the channel picker to cause new RPCs being buffered (while subchannels are in reconnecting), at the moment network recovers. Hopefully, this can avoid RPCs being dropped prematurely in network recovery.

Note #7192 is open for enterIdle(). But that shouldn't affect the usage in AndroidChannelBuilder for reconnecting.
