Bound concurrent image processing and upstream fetches (closes #64)
check / check (push) Successful in 17s

Nothing bounded total in-flight work, so a burst of cache misses across
hosts could exhaust memory. Two settings now do: max_concurrent_processing
(default the CPUs Go uses) and upstream_connections (default 64, beside
the per-host limit). A request that finds either full waits up to 10
seconds, then gets 503; a slot is released on every path. No request
holds source bytes while it waits: a cached source is read only after
the processing slot is taken, and a fetched one only while it holds its
upstream connection. libvips runs one worker thread per image with its
operation cache off. Both waits count toward downstream_timeout, as the
README says.
