Set MaxConnectionsPerChild 8192 for Gitea backends

When we added Apache as a filtering proxy on our Gitea backends in
order to more easily mitigate resource starvation, we did not set
any tuning to tell it when to recycle worker processes. As a result,
backends may continue serving requests with workers which pre-date
certificate rotation. This problem has also become more broadly
prevalent throughout our services with the introduction of Let's
Encrypt's 3-month certificate expirations as compared to our
previous 2-year certificates.

Add the same MaxConnectionsPerChild tuning to our Gitea backend
proxies as we use for our static sites and mirror servers.

# worker MPM
# MaxConnectionsPerChild: maximum number of requests a server process serves
#
# We've noticed that our mirrors occasionally have stale workers. This leads
# to ssl certs not being refreshed properly after reload and we've also seen
# ssl connections to round robin backend services have trouble. Restarting
# the workers so that they load up new info seems to fix this. Try and force
# that to happen regularly with a connections limit per worker.
