With recent change to limit the max number of gRPC connections by default, acquiring a connection could suspend a thread if there is no available connection.
gRPC calls are scheduled to a dedicated background thread pool. Workers in the thread pool are responsible to acquire the connection before starting the RPC call.
There could be a race condition that a worker thread handles some gRPC calls and then switches to a new call which will acquire new connections. If the number of connections reaches the max, the worker thread is suspended and doesn't have a chance to switch to previous calls. The connections held by previous calls are, hence, never released.
This PR changes to not use blocking get when acquiring gRPC connections.
Fixes #14363.
Closes #14416.
