25fff30e39 Let the last thread dispose of pending references
If we're idle, there might be objects pending cleanup for the last two
epochs. Unless another thread comes in and checks into a new epoch or we
shut down, they will linger forever.

If one of the objects was a connection, it wouldn't get closed and be
stuck in CLOSE_WAIT state, potentially refusing another ligitimate
connection if its socket address were to match the one we're yet to
close.

dc1961cb15 Epoch based memory reclamation
Similar to the algorithm presented in
https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/techreports/UCAM-CL-TR-579.pdf

Not completely lock-free at the moment. Also the problems with epoch
based memory reclamation are still present - a thread actively observing
an epoch getting stuck will prevent LloadConnections and LloadOperations
being freed, potentially running out of memory.
