Similar to the nginx "multi_accept" parameter, this allows
single-worker deployments to accept() multiple clients whenever
the listen socket reports readiness via epoll_wait/poll/kevent.

Unlike nginx, we also parse an integer parameter to determine
how many times in a row we call accept().

Single-process deployments with no shared sockets can safely set
"true", here; meaning accept() will be retried indefinitely as
long as there are clients connecting.

Multi-process deployments with many workers should leave this at
the default ("false", or "0") or try a small positive integer.
Using large values with many workers can lead to imbalanced
connections between workers.

We also can't reliably detect whether a listen socket is shared
between multiple processes.  Sockets can be shared via socket
activation in systemd (or similar) and TTIN/TTOU signals can
adjust worker count of our daemons.
