Currently we use an array of connection pointers which needs
to be reallocated when space runs out. But, that happens from
the main thread while the status thread may be referring to those
pointers. Its very hard to fence against possible invalid memory
access. Instead, use a list so that connection pointer never
changes once created.
The connection list is no longer recreated from scratch even when
no connections are active. This means configs added while GUI is
running will always appear at the bottom of the root group listing
until the GUI is restarted.
TODO: This behaviour could be improved by scanning through the groups to
graft new configs at the right branch in the config-group tree.
v2: removed unused references to SetMenuStatusById()
