The Connection class inherits from the ExportImport mixin, but they
had an arm's length interaction.  Restructure the code to provide
direct interaction via the _import attribute.

Remove the more general onCommitCallback() method.  It was only used
by ExportImport.

A lot of cosmetic changes to ExportImport:
    - don't make local variables out of attribute lookups
    - avoid local variable names that shadow builtins
    - prefer isinstance() to type comparisons
    - prefer absolute imports to relative imports
