Let's decrease the mailbox_soft_limit from 1000 to 200.
Obviously, both values are a bit arbitrary.
However, MQTT workloads usually do not have high throughput patterns for
a single MQTT connection. The only valid scenario where an MQTT
connections' process mailbox could have many messages is in large fan-in
scenarios where many MQTT devices sending messages at once to a single MQTT
device - which is rather unusual.
It makes more sense to protect against cluster wide memory alarms by
decreasing the mailbox_soft_limit.
