Changelog: Fix: Fix fail in parallel packages download due to database concurrency issues.
Docs: omit
Downloading packages in paralell was failing, the test test_basic_parallel_install that covered it was forcing the number of threads to 1 waiting for the implementation of some mutex mechanism in the cache. This PR fixes the issue with the most simple solution that is opening a new database connection for each query. The usage of the database in Conan is not so intensive compared with other operations and some preliminar performance tests seems to indicate that it's not affecting performance so much. Let's try this and if we have performance problems use another way of solving the db concurrency issues.
