[notification] avoid leaking cnxsets (closes #3243810) When sending notifications, we get each recipient as either an email address or a CWUser. In the latter case, we create a temporary session for that user and use it to send the mail. However, if we later decided to not send the mail after all, we'd leak the session and its cnxset. Add a try block inside the loop to make sure the temporary sessions are closed properly.

[dbapi] Fix broken inmemory:// URLs parsing (closes #3225832) ParseResult.path is what comes after the "domain name" in standard URLs. So in the case of 'inmemory://<instance' URLs, it is always empty. ParseResult.netloc contains the "domain name" part that we really want.
