target: Allow reuse of a connection once the owning thread is terminated

Once a thread exits, the connection instance it was using can be
returned to the pool so it can be reused by another thread.

Since there is no per-thread equivalent to atexit, this is achieved by
returning the connection to the pool after every top-level method call
that uses it directly, so the object the user can get by accessing
Target.conn can change after each call to Target method.
