Calling Spanner#close() can be slow if the underlying session pool contains a large number of sessions. Spanner#close() will close and cleanup all resources that have been used by the instance, and one of these is the session pool. The method will block until all resources have been cleaned up.

The session pool deletes all its sessions when it is closed. This is done asynchronously using a fixed 8-worker thread executor. Each worker thread blocks while waiting for a session to be deleted. This means that closing a session pool with 1,000 sessions will have an execution time of T * 1000 / 8, where T is the total time needed to delete one session.

Session deletion could be further parallelized for large session pools in order to reduce the total execution time of Spanner#close().

Sessions should be closed using an async gRPC call in order
to speed up the closing of a large session pool. Instead of
using its own executor, which is limited to 8 worker threads,
to execute asynchronous delete session calls, the session pool
should use the asynchronous call option in gRPC. This allows a
larger number of asynchronous delete session calls to be executed
in parallel and speeds up closing a session pool with a large
number of sessions.

Testing against a real Cloud Spanner database with a session pool
containing 1,000 sessions shows the following performance for
closing the session pool:

Before (3 runs):
6603ms
8169ms
8367ms

After (3 runs):
1297ms
1710ms
1851ms

Fixes #19.

Fixes #19.

* fix: wait for test servers to terminate

* remove tracing for async call

* do not use directExecutor which could be a gRPC thread

* fix: return failed future instead of throwing exception

* fix: remove commented code
