 improvements to the memory-management docs, improvements to the
 pathname lookup documentation, and the usual array of smaller
 fixes.

The amount of time in seconds after a connection was last used before we
remove it from the connection list. Whilst a connection is in existence,
remove it from the connection list. While a connection is in existence,
it serves as a placeholder for negotiated security; when it is deleted,
the security must be renegotiated.
