[Twisted-Python] Agent and "Cannot assign requested address"

I ended up getting around the problem by increasing my Riak cluster
size and putting a load balancer in front for the test.  But
connection pooling would be really helpful, both here and in the
CouchDB client. I've refactored both txRiak and Paisley in the past
couple of months to use Agent in the hopes ticket 3420 gets completed.
