[BUG] Bare connections cannot be used as context managers

[sm-Fifteen]

• asyncpg version: 0.20.1
• PostgreSQL version: 10.3
• Python version: 3.8.2
• Platform: Windows
• Do you use pgbouncer?: No
• Did you install asyncpg with pip?: Yes

While under most use cases, people will want to use connection pools to manage their connections, there are times where using bare connections turns out to be more practical. However, while connection pools can be opened and closed via context managers:

async with asyncpg.create_pool(user='postgres', command_timeout=60) as pool:
    async with pool.acquire() as con:
        await con.fetch('SELECT 1')

...it appears that bare connections created via asyncpg.connect do not support this:

async with asyncpg.connect(user='postgres') as con:
    await con.fetch('SELECT 1')

File "./test.py", line 120, in fetch_ip_list
    async with asyncpg.connect(user="postgres") as con:
AttributeError: __aexit__

I personally like using with blocks to handle the scope of resources like this, so this is a step down for me in terms of ergonomics, not to mention rather surprising given that connections coming from connection pools do work as context managers (even though those are merely returned to the pool instead of closed).

What's the hold-up on this? Not having looked at the code, my intuition is that this should be exceedingly easy to implement. I might contribute a PR on this, but I'd rather not waste my time. @elprans, would you welcome this feature or are you opposed to it?

I did this to allow use of a context manager:

from contextlib import asynccontextmanager
import asyncpg

@asynccontextmanager
async def managed_connect(**params):
    conn = await asyncpg.connect(**params)
    try:
        yield conn
    finally:
        await conn.close()

async with managed_connect(database=db_name) as conn:
