Backport connection limit fix to Jetty 11

[vlsorokin]

Jetty Version

Jetty-11.x

Question

Would it be possible to backport the changes from PR #12320, which address Issue #7515, to Jetty 11?

I have created a PR #12382 with a cherry-pick of the fix.

From what I can tell, it appears safe to backport this to Jetty 11 (however I've never contributed to Jetty project and might overlook some potential concerns)

@vlsorokin sorry but Jetty 10/11 is at end of community support, see the table here:

• EoCS (End of Community Support) for Jetty 10 / Jetty 11 - January 2024 #10485

You have to assume that there may never be another Jetty 11 version.
There might be another Jetty 11 release, for security reasons, or to support Webtide clients, but it is not guaranteed if neither of those reasons occur.

You can contact Webtide for commercial support, or you can upgrade to Jetty 12.
