[performance] remove throttling timers (#1466)
* remove throttling timers, support setting retry-after, use retry-after in transport

* remove unused variables

* add throttling-retry-after to cmd flags

* update envparsing to include new throttling-retry-after

* update example config to include retry-after documentation

* also support retry-after formatted as date-time, ensure max backoff time

// token represents a request that is being processed.
type token struct{}
// Throttle returns a gin middleware that performs throttling of incoming requests,
// ensuring that only a certain number of requests are handled concurrently, to reduce
// congestion of the server.
//
// Limits are configured using available CPUs and the given cpuMultiplier value.
// Open request limit is available CPUs * multiplier; backlog limit is limit * multiplier.
//
// Example values for multiplier 8:
//
// 1 cpu = 08 open, 064 backlog
// 2 cpu = 16 open, 128 backlog
// 4 cpu = 32 open, 256 backlog
//
// Example values for multiplier 4:
//
// 1 cpu = 04 open, 016 backlog
// 2 cpu = 08 open, 032 backlog
// 4 cpu = 16 open, 064 backlog
//
// Callers will first attempt to get a backlog token. Once they have that, they will
// wait in the backlog queue until they can get a token to allow their request to be
// processed.
//
// If the backlog queue is full, the request context is closed, or the caller has been
// waiting in the backlog for too long, this function will abort the request chain,
// write a JSON error into the response, set an appropriate Retry-After value, and set
// the HTTP response code to 503: Service Unavailable.
//
// If the multiplier is <= 0, a noop middleware will be returned instead.
//
// RetryAfter determines the Retry-After header value to be sent to throttled requests.
//

// - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/503
