memory from transport buffer not freed after connection_lost

まず、提供された Python の再現コードを uvloop.new_event_loop で実行し、telnet セッションが終了した後のメモリを確認してから、標準の asyncio runner と比較します。transport buffer と connection_lost の経路を追跡します。asyncio の場合と同様に、切断後にメモリが解放されれば完了です。

• uvloop version: 0.17.0
• Python version: 3.11.4
• Platform: fedora 38
• Can you reproduce the bug with PYTHONASYNCIODEBUG in env?: yes, with PYTHONASYNCIODEBUG=1
• Does uvloop behave differently from vanilla asyncio? How?: yes, keeps resident memory

If I flood transport.write() and then close the connection (e.g. having the client telnet session stop) the memory stays resident.
Under stock asyncio, the memory immediately is released.

To reproduce,

1. start this program,
2. watch it in top
3. , telnet to port 8888,
4. watch memory usage spike.
5. close the telnet session,
6. see that memory usage stays high.
7. repeat this experiment with stock asyncio runner,
8. the memory is freed immediately. after telnet session is closed

This test script is a malloc bomb, so make sure you watch memory closely or you will consume all the memory on your machine
