Arista SSH not closing connections correctly

[Gobam]

Description of Issue/Question

Napalm is not closing correctly the objects created for Arista SSH session. We identified this when noted a thread that remains open after a getter is completed for an EOS device. Trying to use the close() method is causing an exception (see below)

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

Run a script including a Napalm getter inside a loop and monitor the threads. It will show a new thread after each run:

import napalm
from threading import enumerate

eos = napalm.get_network_driver("eos")

optional_args={
    'port':22,
    'transport': 'ssh',
}

for _ in range(10):
    # Connect:
    device = eos(
        hostname="192.168.0.1",
        username="user",
        password="password",
        optional_args=optional_args
    )

    device.open()
    result = device.get_interfaces()
    #device.close()
    print(result)

    for thread in enumerate():
        print(thread.name)

device.close() is commented as it causes an exception
