Fix ancient connection leak in dblink

When using unnamed connections with dblink, every time a new
connection is made, the old one is leaked. Fix that.

This has been an issue probably since dblink was first committed.
Someone complained almost ten years ago, but apparently I decided
not to pursue it at the time, and neither did anyone else, so it
slipped between the cracks. Now that someone else has complained,
fix in all supported branches.
