Lease proxies for write and isolated callbacks; close() never frees a busy connection

Callbacks passed to execute_write_fn() - and the internal callbacks of
execute_write(), execute_write_many() and execute_write_script(), plus
write_wrapper hooks - and execute_isolated_fn() now receive a
LeasedConnection that raises ConnectionLeaseError once the callback has
returned, in threaded and non-threaded mode. "with conn as c" yields the
proxy, not the raw connection. Write callbacks may still return a cursor
(lambda conn: conn.execute(...) is common, and the write_many/script
methods return theirs).

The threaded execute_isolated_fn() path for immutable databases now runs
as a tracked executor future, so Database.close() waits for it instead
of closing its connection mid-query (the segfault in the review, P03).
close() also leaves alone the connections of a write thread that is
still running after the 10s join; that thread closes them itself.
