[FAB-2828] DeliveryService: Connection Producer

This commit is part of [FAB-2828] and its goal is to create a connection
producer object, which will be used for:
1) Selecting new endpoints once connection is broken
2) Preparing for a shared connection pool between channels in case connecting
   to the same ordering service instance on different channels.
