To support distributed connection limits, adjust the way that
connection limits are handled.
Previously, we'd do a simple in-memory comparison with the limit to
guide whether we had reached the limit.
In a distributed/clustered scenario we need a shared understanding
of the state of the connections, so we're moving to a lease-based
model.
Each connection is associated with a UUID.
Each egress path maintains a set of connections and their UUIDs.
When attempting to make a new connection, we can only proceed if the
number of connections associated with an egress path is below the limit.
When a connection is closed, its UUID is removed from the associated
set.
To handle crashes, kills and netsplits, the path -> uuid association is
also accompanied by an expiration time beyond which it can be assumed
that the lease is no longer valid. We compute that time based on the
worst case timeout value for a single message send on the given pathway.
Each time a connection is ready to obtain a new message, it will try
to extend its lease by that same duration.
This commit introduces these concepts and models them using an in-memory
store for the single node case, and using redis for the cluster case.
When your policy enables `kumo.configure_redis_throttles`, that same
redis configuration is used to back to the connection limiting
functionality.

Enable that field and add it to the fallback used by the
smtp_dispatcher. The ehlo_domain configured for the pathway
takes precedence, then we'll take the value from the source,
then fallback to the local hostname.

Switch the configuration plumbing for pools and sources to be pull-based
rather than push based.
In other words, rather than defining them in the `init` event,
you now need to supply them to the new `get_egress_pool` and
`get_egress_source` events.
Data is cached by default for 1 minute. This allows for new sources
to come into being on-demand, and for data to age out and change
over time, without requiring that the server be restarted.
This commit updates the reference section, but there is some content
in the user guide that refers to the old style of configuration that
will need to be updated.
