rtsp-server: Limit number of connecting clients

Marc Leeman requested to merge den_erpel/gst-rtsp-server:feature/rtsp-server-max-clients into master

Previously only the number of threads in the GstRTSPThreadPool could be used to limit the amount of work that GstRTSPServer would do. While this number limits the amount of work being done in parallel it does not limit the number of connecting clients. This patch adds a new property that limits the number of connecting clients. If this number is reached a client is never allowed to send its request and GstRTSPServer will simply disconnect the client without sending any response as this would constitute a denial of service attack.
