Give the largest measured per-image memory in "Running under upaas"
check / check (push) Waiting to run

The per-image figure is now the largest peak measured over one
8192x8192 source of each source format, with 16-bit PNG, 12-bit AVIF,
and 16-bit and 32-bit floating-point JPEG XL sources too, each saved at
full size to every output format with pixad's libvips settings: 4.2 GiB,
for the 16-bit JPEG XL saved as WebP. Temporary files says that for a
GIF, WebP, AVIF or JPEG XL source the decoded pixels are held in memory
as well as written to /tmp.

# Completed Steps
- 2026-10-15 `max_concurrent_processing` defaults to half the CPUs pixa sees,
rounded down, and at least 1 (closes #242): it defaulted to one image per CPU,
and a container with no CPU limit sees every CPU of the host, so on a 48-CPU
host pixa processed 48 images at once, each of which can take about 4.2 GiB.
`config.DefaultMaxConcurrentProcessing` gives the default to the config and to
`imageprocessor.New`; `PIXA_MAX_CONCURRENT_PROCESSING` still overrides it.
"Running under upaas" in `README.md` gives the worst-case memory, measured,
and tells the operator to set `PIXA_MAX_CONCURRENT_PROCESSING` and
`PIXA_UPSTREAM_CONNECTIONS` to fit the container's memory. It also gives the
file libvips writes to `/tmp` for each large source, up to 1 GiB, measured,
which is outside `/var/lib/pixa` and `cache_max_bytes` and is memory where
`/tmp` is a tmpfs.
