Tom Weininger 33eaff55fc Set sensible nf_conntrack_max value in amphora
This sets the values of nf_conntrack_max and nf_conntrack_expect_max to
sensible values. Previously, the default values set by the kernel were
used, which limited net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_max to 32768. On the
other hand, Octavia sets nf_conntrack_buckets to 125000. A value of
nf_conntrack_max lower than half of that makes no sense.

The new values are calculated using the formula for the default value
in the kernel [1]:

nf_conntrack_max = nf_conntrack_buckets
nf_conntrack_expect_max = nf_conntrack_buckets / 256
