Continue of #651 as it wouldn't let me reopen it...
This adds a new configuration for desired minimum connections, to
complement the connection limit.
If the autoOpenConnections is enabled (default true), the pool will
immediately open the desired minimum number of connections.
Any connection opened above the minimum, who sits unused for a time
specified in idleTimeout, will be automatically closed.
This allows you to set up a minimum expectation of standard load for
connections to your database, but also allow you to configure a
higher maximum to handle unexpected burst traffic, and be able to
close them automatically when the burst subsides.
