During 'NEOCluster.stop', there's often 1 'Serialized.background()' call too
many, and when it removed the last lock of the queue, another thread would hang
if was sleeping between 'q.put(lock)' and 'q.get().release()'.

An easy way to reproduce the bug was to add:
    if cls.pending is None:
        time.sleep(.01)
just before 'q.get().release()'

In particular, this fixes history tab on recent Zope.

Protocol is extended to allow passing None in an Enum field.

Subprocesses should free file descriptors (here a system-wide lock)
they don't need.

MySQL connections remained open, which even led to deadlocks with MySQL 5.5

This makes dropping of partitions very fast, and should also speed up all
other queries to the 'trans', 'obj' & 'obj_short' tables.

However, it is not enabled due to a bug in MySQL 5.1 & 5.5.

Threaded mode is the fastest so it's the default for neotestrunner.
Speed is not so important for the test bot, so it keeps running them in
functional mode by default.

("client: optimize by not calling lastTransaction at the end of transactions").

This fixes several unit tests like

on whether the cluster was started before or after the storage initializing
connection with the master.
