Recycle MySQL connections every 5 minutes

[yuvipanda]

MySQL will consider all connections that have been idle for a specific time
period to be 'stale' and close them. We work around this by telling
SQLAlchemy to recycle old connections (disconnect/reconnect) after 5
minutes of having started them. MySQL connections are cheapish enough
that this works ok.

Good point! I actually implemented this on-server while debugging it. I'll bring this in with the other fixes I'm merging back in from that environment. Also, good to know it's 300 seconds (I had put 60).

It isn't actually 300, I just made that up :) The actual number is 3600 rn,
but don't entirely depend on that...
