Description

The current version of getConnections retrieves all connections and their sessions with full context on each. This is too verbose.
To maintain backwards compatibility we should add a new ManagedOperation on the 6.0.x branch to only retrieve the connections (without context if possible).
The WMC should be changed to use this instead of the current getConnections.
Both getConnections and the new operation should be considered deprecated. getConnections will be removed from v7 and the new operation will not be introduced to v6.1 because there we use queries (QPID-7215).
In addition the WMC connections table should be (client-side) paginated.
