1. Fix auth bypass in the default configuration with the addition of
   server.password (the REGISTER command was allowed before connection
   registration, allowing unauthenticated users to REGISTER and then
   take advantage of skip-server-password)
2. Caution operators against the use of require-sasl without disabling
   user-initiated account registration. (Such a configuration is still valid
   in the case of a public server that requires everyone to register.)

Allow users to set max MySQL connections and connection lifetime;
set a sane default for max connections if it's not present.
