* plugin/forward: erase expired connection by timer - in previous implementation, the expired connections resided in cache until new request to the same upstream/protocol came. In case if the upstream was unhealthy new request may come long time later or may not come at all. All this time expired connections held system resources (file descriptors, ephemeral ports). In my fix the expired connections and related resources are released by timer - decreased the complexity of taking connection from cache. The list of connections is treated as stack (LIFO queue), i.e. the connection is taken from the end of queue (the most fresh connection) and returned to the end (as it was implemented before). The remarkable thing is that all connections in the stack appear to be ordered by 'used' field - the cleanup() method finds the first good (not expired) connection in stack with binary search, since all connections are ordered by 'used' field * fix race conditions * minor enhancement * add comments
