Look up auth connections by domain instead of stored ID

Connection IDs change when re-authing. Instead of storing IDs in
settings.json (which go stale), look up connections by domain at
runtime via kernel.auth.connections.list({ domain }). This keeps
the applier in sync regardless of connection recreation.
