Summary
This pull request adds an additional connection error message to the DetectsLostConnections trait to better handle AWS Aurora database configurations that use AWS Secrets Manager with automatic password rotation.
Context
When Laravel is used in conjunction with Amazon Aurora and AWS Secrets Manager for managing database credentials, it's common for credentials to rotate automatically (e.g., weekly). If a long-running process (such as a queue worker or a job) is in progress during a credential rotation, any subsequent query attempts may fail with the following error:
SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'username'@'host' (using password: YES)
This error is currently not interpreted by Laravel as a "lost connection", even though it effectively is one in this context — since the stored credentials have expired or changed mid-process.
Solution
This PR explicitly adds the following error message pattern to the DetectsLostConnections trait:
SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user
This helps Laravel detect these kinds of "soft" lost connections that result from credentials rotating behind the scenes.
