docs: |coro|
  
          Creates a websocket connection and lets the websocket listen
          to messages from discord. This is a loop that runs the entire
          event system and miscellaneous aspects of the library. Control
          is not resumed until the WebSocket connection is terminated.
  
          Parameters
          -----------
          reconnect: :class:`bool`
              If we should attempt reconnecting, either due to internet
              failure or a specific failure on Discord's part. Certain
              disconnects that lead to bad state will not be handled (such as
              invalid sharding payloads or bad tokens).
  
          Raises
          -------
          GatewayNotFound
              If the gateway to connect to discord is not found. Usually if this
              is thrown then there is a discord API outage.
          ConnectionClosed
              The websocket connection has been terminated.
