Variable name is `mysql-throttle_connections_per_sec_to_hostgroup` .
Curently it is a global variable and limits the number of new connections per
hostgroup, and not per specific node.
For example, if mysql-throttle_connections_per_sec_to_hostgroup=100, no more
than 100 new connections can be created on any hostgroup no matter the number
of servers in that hostgroup.
The default is very high (1000000) thus not changing default behaviour.
Tuning this variable allows to control and throttle connections spikes to the
backend servers.
Added also new status variable `Server_Connections_delayed`.
This is a counter of how many times Hostgroup Manager didn't return a
connection because the limit was reached. It is worth to note that a single
client request could make multiple requests, therefore this variable counts
the number of time a new connection wasn't created and not how many requests
were delayed.
