Yeah. That's simple to fix, but I'm having trouble wordsmithing the
error message. This is what I came up with:
invalid connection limit %d (must be -1, meaning no limit, or greater)
Any better suggestions?
I also note that you can set it to INT_MAX, while max_connections is
limited to INT_MAX/4, but I'm inclined to leave that alone.

Hmm, I don't think this should be backported, since it doesn't cause any
actual problems. We'd just risk breaking people's scripts that use
-999 to mean "no limit". (they will be broken when they upgrade to 8.4
anyway, of course, but that's fine)
