Summary
Allow having an idle connection value of 0 or less as this is supported by the SQL driver documented here which points here.
Does this close any open issues?
No
Other Information
In my setup we are using AWS Aurora Serverless v2. One important property of this technology is that it automatically scales the cluster depending on load. It can scale down to 0 and then we don't pay for the use of the database; which we want in order to save money.
Unfortunately devlake doesn't allow having less than 1 idle connection. This PR fixes that by removing the condition from the code and relying on the SQL driver to manage the connection pooling.
