Subject: [PATCH] Introduce process_count_max minion configuration
 parameter

This allows users to limit the number of processes or threads a minion
will start in response to published messages, prevents resource
exhaustion in case a high number of concurrent jobs is scheduled in a
short time.

process_count_max: add defaults and documentation

process_count_max: adapt existing unit tests

process_count_max: add unit test

process_count_max: disable by default
