Cancel/stop an attempted connection

When attempting to connect to a cluster which is not reachable (i.e. localhost when you don't have a mongod running, or Atlas when you haven't whitelisted your IP), Compass blocks any user input until the connection request times out. I do this periodically when my home IP gets changed, or I just make a mistake. I generally work out what's happened in <5s, but I have to wait for the connection to time out (30s?) or quit Compass in order to change/retry. It would be much nicer to have a button to stop/cancel a connection request.
