75851: kv: reduce kv.rangefeed.concurrent_catchup_iterators to 16 by default r=erikgrinaker a=stevendanna

Many of our largest users have found the need to tune this parameter
to lower values (often single-digit values). Here, I've lowered it to
a new, unprincipled value of 16.

Note that this limit is _per store_, so the actual number of
concurrent catchup scans allowed on a given server can be some
multiple of the value here.

Release note: The default value of
`kv.rangefeed_concurrent_catchup_iterators` has been lowered to 16 to
help avoid overload during CHANGEFEED restarts.
