[FIX] server: limit concurrent http threads

Before this commit nothing prevented high concurrency on a threaded http
server to consume too much resources, ending up failing requests either
because the OS is unable to spawn that many threads
(`RuntimeError: can't start new thread`), either because the Odoo db
connection pool is full (`PoolError: The Connection Pool Is Full`).

This commit adds the ODOO_MAX_HTTP_THREADS environment variable which
allows to limit the amount of concurrent socket connections accepted by
a threaded server, implicitly limiting the amount of concurrent threads
running for http requests handling.

Note that if a value has been provided to ODOO_MAX_HTTP_THREADS that cannot
be parsed as an integer, a value will be automatically set to half the
db connection pool size (which defaults to 64). This dynamic value is
chosen because while most requests will borrow only one cursor
concurrently, there are some exceptions where some controllers might
allocate two or more cursors.

closes odoo/odoo#42327
