TINKERPOP-1172 Fixed bug with driver connecting to an initially dead server. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-1172 The `ConnectionPool` wasn't getting initialized properly when the host was dead which then lead to a null pointer exception when trying to reconnect. Also fixed the possibility of a connection leak if the pool was partially initialized but the host died in the middle of that. Those partial connections were never properly closed. I performed multiple successful runs of `mvn clean install && mvn verify -pl gremlin-server -DskipIntegrationTests=false`.
