SshConnection registers an atexit handler so the connection is closed upon exiting the process if it has not been done before. However, the handler keeps a reference on the connection, which means it _will_ stay alive. If lots of short-lived connections are created (which can happen when using e.g. ThreadPoolExecutor), they will simply stay around and leak. Fix that by using a weak reference (WeakMethod) to register in the atexit handler, with a callback to unregister it when the object is deallocated.
