    Import Connection lazily in hooks to avoid cycles (#15361)
    
    The current implementation imports Connection on import time, which
    causes a circular import when a model class needs to reference a hook
    class.
    
    By applying this fix, the airflow.hooks package is completely decoupled
    with airflow.models on import time, so model code can reference hooks.
    Hooks, on the other hand, generally don't reference model classes.
    
    Fix #15325.
    
    (cherry picked from commit 75603160848e4199ed368809dfd441dcc5ddbd82)
