Lazy asyncio.Lock creation + __repr__ on Connection/Cursor

ISSUE-11 — AsyncConnection used to construct _connect_lock and
_op_lock eagerly in __init__, which runs in whatever thread the
caller is in. asyncio.Lock MUST be created on the loop it will run
on; constructing one outside a loop (or on a loop that later dies)
causes RuntimeError on await. Now locks are lazy-initialized in
_ensure_locks(), called from every async entry point.

AsyncCursor's use of self._connection._op_lock is updated to go
through the new helper.

ISSUE-14 — Connection, Cursor, AsyncConnection, AsyncCursor now
have __repr__s showing address/database/state and rowcount where
applicable. No credentials leaked.
