fix(connection): improve connection management

- resolve the creation of two connections. The dynamic import of the connection modules delayed the initialization of the SQLiteCloudConnection object. Between the initialization of the Database object and the call to sql() method, the connection was not yet initialized
- connection to the database and the commands are put in queue to ensure the connection to be ready (the socket connection is a background operation)
- remove the implicit connection to the database in the sql() methods. We want the user be aware of the status of the connection (eg, due to open transactions)
- enable TCP keep alive to be notified of the most of the cases of errors on the TCP socket
