Shuffle Strings and Create Airflow Database Connection

This function first uses the shuffle function of the random module to randomly shuffle the input string list, then uses Airflow's BaseHook and Connection model to create a new database connection, and save it to the connection table in Airflow. Finally, it returns the shuffled string list.
