Additional connections reuse.
If ngx_drain_connections() fails to immediately reuse any connections
and there are no free connections, it now additionally tries to reuse
a connection again. This helps to provide at least one free connection
in case of HTTP/2 with lingering close, where merely trying to reuse
a connection once does not free it, but makes it reusable again,
waiting for lingering close.
