This change will now track any created persistent connection and shut it
down at the end of the play run. This change also includes an update to
properly honor the reset_connection meta handler.
After the connection refactor if response value returned from
the remote device is empty in that case an `ok` return value is send
to module side code. To avoid this do not overwrite the empty response
received from remote device in `jsonrpc` reply.
