Add defer_connect config to allow eagerly verifying connection

This commit adds a new connection parameter `defer_connect` which can be
set to False to force creating a connection when `trino.dbapi.connect`
is called. Any connection errors as a result of that get rewrapped into
`trino.exceptions.TrinoConnectionError`.

By default `defer_connect` is set to `True` so users can explicitly call
`trino.dbapi.Connection.connect` to do the connection check.

This doesn't end up actually executing a query on the server because
after the initial POST request the nextUri in the response is not
followed which leaves the query in QUEUED state. This is not documented
in the Trino REST API but the server does behave like this today. The
benefit is that we can very cheaply verify if the connection is valid
without polluting the server's query history or adding queries to queue.
