KIP-1015 — Limit number of ssl connections in brokers

Discussion SecurityBroker

Adds a new `max.connections.ssl` broker and listener configuration to cap the number of active TLS connections independently of plaintext connections. An SSL connection consumes ~100KB of memory vs ~250 bytes for plaintext, so the existing unified `max.connections` limit does not prevent OOM from TLS-heavy workloads.
