Change subject: use only accepted ran_conns for new transactions
......................................................................

use only accepted ran_conns for new transactions

In connection_for_subscriber(), do not return a ran_conn that is not yet
authenticated nor one that is already in release.

Using a ran_conn that is not yet authenticated may cause an auth/ciph
violation.

Using a ran_conn that is already in release may cause a use-after-free, see
OS#3842 for a description.

To be paranoid, upon releasing a conn, go through the transaction freeing
motions again by calling trans_conn_closed(), just in case some odd code path
added another transaction while the conn was already in release.
