With the change in TransactionManager, there's 1 comparison less.

During 'NEOCluster.stop', there's often 1 'Serialized.background()' call too
many, and when it removed the last lock of the queue, another thread would hang
if was sleeping between 'q.put(lock)' and 'q.get().release()'.

An easy way to reproduce the bug was to add:
    if cls.pending is None:
        time.sleep(.01)
just before 'q.get().release()'

In particular, this fixes history tab on recent Zope.

Protocol is extended to allow passing None in an Enum field.

Subprocesses should free file descriptors (here a system-wide lock)
they don't need.

MySQL connections remained open, which even led to deadlocks with MySQL 5.5

This makes dropping of partitions very fast, and should also speed up all
other queries to the 'trans', 'obj' & 'obj_short' tables.

However, it is not enabled due to a bug in MySQL 5.1 & 5.5.
