ITS#6011 better fix for connection queue

It occurs to me that an even better fix may have been to provide an ldap_pvt_thread_pool_cancel() function to remove submitted tasks that haven't started yet. Any other uses for such a function?

For LDAP Abandon/Cancel requests, maybe?

Call the function someting less scary though. In threading, to "cancel" usually means to abort a running operation.
