"maxconns" set to 0 means "unlimited."

I really dislike this approach.  What about adding "?-server
servername?" to the API:

    ns_pools list -server foo
    default error

Also, what if you need a pool/limit that does is shared across all
servers in the entire process?  This is actually the truly useful use
case of the pools/limits mechanism--e.g., ensuring that the entire nsd
process doesn't attempt to use more than X number of threads, whatever
that X is that the physical machine can support based on its
size/capacity.

I *really* like this change.  Regardless of what happens to
ns_pools/ns_limits, I think this change should go in.
