Fix for #359 MySQL-OperationalError

When the database connection dies (database server crash), the database scheduler of djcelery doesn't close the broken connection for its scheduler update calls. Every 5 seconds an OperationalError: (2006, 'MySQL server has gone away') occurs.

This patches checks the database connection when a DATABASE_ERROR occurs and closes the connection when necessary. The database scheduler reconnects automatically on the next try.
