No way to configure number of http client connections

[bharat-nain]

In HttpEventCollectorSender.java we would like to be able to configure desired number of http client connections as the default max of 2 connections for parallel mode is not sufficient for our throughput requirement.

The current default configuration causes too many requests to queue up (even with batching turned on) in case of any slowness on Splunk server. Having too many queued requests causes GC overhead and starts affecting business transactions. We use LogbackAppender to log events to splunk and any slowness in logging can potentially affect application performance.
