rx: prevent leakage of non-cached rx_connections (pthread)

The rxi_connectionCache (AFS_PTHREAD_ENV only) allows applications to
reuse rx_connection structs.  Cached rx_connections are obtained via
rx_GetCachedConnection and released via rx_ReleaseCachedConnection.
This feature is used most heavily by libadmin and kauth, but there are
other users in the tree as well.

For instance, ubikclient routines ubik_ClientInit and ubik_ClientDestroy
call rx_ReleaseCachedConnections (if AFS_PTHREAD_ENV) when disposing of
their rx_connections.  Unfortunately, in many cases these rx_connections
were obtained via rx_NewConnection, _not_ from the cache via
rx_GetCachedConnection.  In those cases, rx_ReleaseCachedConnection will
not find the rx_connection in the rxi_connectionCache, and thus it
returns without doing anything.

Therefore, when ubik_ClientInit is passed an existing ubik_client (for
re-initialization) that contains rx_connections NOT allocated via
rx_GetCachedConnection, those connections are not destroyed, but will be
silently leaked.  Similarly, ubik_ClientDestroy will leak its
rx_connections when it frees the ubik_client struct.

For example, the fileserver host package calls ubik_ClientInit (via
hpr_Initialize) and ubik_ClientDestroy (via hpr_End) to manage
connections to the ptserver.  However, these connections were obtained
via rx_NewConnection, not rx_GetCachedConnection.  If the fileserver has
a failed call to the ptserver that sets prfail=1, the next RPC scheduled
for that client (in CallPreamble) will refresh the thread's ubik_client
(viced_uclient_key) by calling hprEnd -> ubik_ClientDestroy ->
rx_ReleaseCachedConnection.  The "released" connections will be leaked.

This problem exists in all versions of OpenAFS going back to IBM 1.0.
Starting with 1.8.x, many components that were formerly LWP-only are now
pthreaded and thus susceptible to this leak.

It seems difficult and error-prone to identify all possible code paths
that may pass a non-cached rx_connection to rx_ReleaseCachedConnection,
and convert them to obtain connections via rx_GetCachedConnection.

Instead, prevent all existing and future leaks by modifying the connection
cache to:
- flag all rx_connections it allocates
- correctly release any rx_connection it is passed, whether they came
  from the cache or not.
