Add request pool to improve delivery performance (#10353)

* Add request pool to improve delivery performance

Fix #7909

* Ensure connection is closed when exception interrupts execution

* Remove Timeout#timeout from socket connection

* Fix infinite retrial loop on HTTP::ConnectionError

* Close sockets on failure, reduce idle time to 90 seconds

* Add MAX_REQUEST_POOL_SIZE option to limit concurrent connections to the same server

* Use a shared pool size, 512 by default, to stay below open file limit

* Add some tests

* Add more tests

* Reduce MAX_IDLE_TIME from 90 to 30 seconds, reap every 30 seconds

* Use a shared pool that returns preferred connection but re-purposes other ones when needed

* Fix wrong connection being returned on subsequent calls within the same thread

* Reduce mutex calls on flushes from 2 to 1 and add test for reaping
