Limit database max connections by default

Our default of unlimited database connections is not sane, because every database has a limit, and our default should just follow this. Otherwise it will lead to issues every time a small instance gets a high traffic peak.

Part of https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/3381

The value of 100 is the lowest value from:

- 100 Postgres https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/runtime-config-connection.html#GUC-MAX-CONNECTIONS
- 151 MySQL https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/server-system-variables.html#sysvar_max_connections
- 151 MariaDB https://mariadb.com/docs/server/ref/mdb/system-variables/max_connections/
