Read path: the leased pool replaces the thread-local cache. Pooled
connections record Database._conn_generation when opened; a stale one is
discarded on checkout or return, and _invalidate_connections() (called
by the SchemaWatcher on a replaced/deleted file) closes that database's
idle connections at once. Leased ones are only ever closed by their own
thread on release.
Write path: the idle-exit write thread keeps its lock protocol; its
connection lives in a _WriteConnection holder that is reopened when the
generation moves, before the next task. Post-write schema_version check
and _after_write catalog await are kept for every write API in both
modes. Non-threaded write connections are reopened on a generation change
and never cached half-prepared.
Deleted files: write connections use mode=rw once Datasette has seen the
file exist (_file_seen), so a deleted file is never silently recreated,
while a database added before its file exists is still created by its
first write.
Settings: max_open_connections (clamped to >= 4 x num_sql_threads),
connection_idle_timeout_ms (30000, read connections and write threads),
schema_watch_interval_ms, default_schema_watch (external|owned). The
spike-only knobs (connection_idle_timeout, connection_pool_wait_ms,
pool_read_connections, write_thread_idle_timeout_ms) are gone, along with
the pool's wait/disable code paths. The reaper falls back to checkout-time
reaping where threads cannot be started (Pyodide).

Settings-list conflicts resolved as a union; the settings are
consolidated in a later commit.

Per-database schema_watch modes (owned / external / immutable):
- write path reads PRAGMA schema_version after every write task and
rebuilds that one database's catalog before the write returns
- external files are polled with a stat() fingerprint prefilter
(racily-clean fingerprints re-verified), PRAGMA schema_version only on
change, rebuild only when the version moved or the inode changed
- immutable databases are scanned once
- remove_database deletes its catalog rows explicitly; startup deletes
rows for databases that are not attached (no per-refresh full scans)
- catalog reads use one short-lived connection per database inside one
read transaction; shared-cache memory databases go through their
write thread
- replaced/deleted files invalidate cached connections (generation)
- fingerprints persisted in catalog_databases.fingerprint (migration
0002) so restarts skip unchanged files
- new setting schema_watch_interval_ms (default 1000, 0 = no polling)

New setting write_thread_idle_timeout_ms (default 30000, 0 disables).
A database's write thread now waits on queue.get(timeout=...) and, when
it times out, takes _write_thread_lock, re-checks that the queue is
empty, deregisters itself and closes its write connection. Producers
enqueue and check/start the thread under the same lock, so a task can
never be left in the queue with no thread to run it.
Also: close() refuses new tasks under the lock and joins retiring
threads; a failed connect is retried by the next write once the queue
drains; memory databases never idle out; a thread that dies from a
BaseException deregisters (and restarts if tasks are waiting); the
thread is registered only after start() succeeds.

Replace the per-thread cached read connections with a pool. Each
execute_fn()/execute() callback checks a connection out for its duration
and gets a LeasedConnection proxy that raises ConnectionLeaseError if
used after the callback returns.
New settings: max_open_connections (global LRU cap, default 128),
connection_idle_timeout (seconds, default 60, enforced by one
process-wide reaper thread plus opportunistic reaping on checkout),
connection_pool_wait_ms (soft cap: wait then exceed) and
pool_read_connections (off = fresh connection per query, a control).

* Update docs: explain allow_download setting
This fixes one possible source of confusion seen in #502 and clarifies
when database downloads will be shown and allowed.
