console: hold a weak ref to GabblePluginConnection

As Simon suggested on
<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66085#c1>:

> + /* Not reffing this: the connection owns all channel managers, so it
> + * must outlive us. Taking a reference leads to a cycle.
> + */
> + self->plugin_connection = g_value_get_object (value);
>
> Weak ref, or drop it on DISCONNECTED state?
