Summary
-------

This patch fulfills a long-standing request to keep users from abusing broker queue resources. If a user is allowed to create one queue he then can create them by the thousdands.

The code is more of a quota than an access control but it fits naturally in the current ACL module. The implementation here is queue-centric but could be generalized to support limiting exchanges as well.

A few concerns arise:

1. This code counts/protects live requests coming in to single node. This code does not protect queues that are presisting. The concern is that a user creates his quota of persistent queues and then upon system restart the same user can create another batch of queues since the persisted queues aren't tracked. Is this a vaild concern?

2. The patch provides only a single setting for all users.

3. The patch makes no effort to replicate the queue count state across a cluster. Surely this is a problem for clusters.


This addresses bug QPID-2393.

> With issue QPID-2108 (Red Hat service request #1950278) a new feature has been introduced which allows to control via ACL the size of queues and their limit policy on user level.
> The original request contained also the requirement to gain control over the number of queues a user may create.
> ACL should be enhanced to allow specifying a maximum  number of queues for a single user.
> Altogether these features shall enable the operator of a Qpid broker to keep better control over the resources.
> We will prepare a draft implementation and provide it asap.
> This request has also been reported as Red Hat service request #1992776.
