When #22658 changed ConnHealth to be pessimistic instead of
optimistic, it meant that distsql could theoretically get stuck in a
state without connections to the necessary nodes (distsql would never
initiate connections on its own; it only attempts to use connections
for which ConnHealth returns true so it was effectively relying on
raft/kv to initiate these connections).
Now ConnHealth will attempt to start a connection process if none is
in flight to ensure that we will eventually discover the health of any
address we are concerned about.
Updated the ConnHealth docstring to reflect this change and the change
to pessimistic behavior.
Fixes #23829
Release note: None
