Add a "Maximum Connections" feature page for the new `--max-connections` option: what the limit counts, how waiting connections behave, the connections held beyond the limit, idle keep-alive connections, and why the idle timeout should stay on. List it in the CLI, env, TOML and defaults references and the features table. The idle timeout page now mentions the debug log of closed connections and points to the limit.

Add a "Maximum Request Header Size" page and the `--max-header-size` entries in the CLI, env, TOML and defaults references. Security headers no longer send `Strict-Transport-Security` over plain HTTP, and its value has no `preload`. Update the security headers page and the references, and show how to add HSTS behind a TLS-terminating proxy or opt into preloading with a custom header rule.
