Allow users to limit the number of connections to a queue manager in the scope of a single file-to-queue transfer Merged

The MFT agent process will attempt to PUT files in a transfer to their destination queue all at once.

If the MAXHANDS property of a queue manager is smaller than the number of files in a single transfer, then the transfer will stall. The files that were already put have already been committed to the queue, and picked up by downstream applications. The files that were not yet processed will not be, because the transfer cannot be restarted: it will simply fail again, after the first N messages have been committed a second time.

Add a property to the agent.properties file that limits the number of simultaneous connections to the agent queue manager, so that the agent does not try to PUT all files at once.
