config: increase max_connections default from 2000 to 4096

Increases connection limit across all configuration sources:
- src/config.rs: default_value_t = 4096
- docs/reference/configuration.md: updated default and examples
- nix/module.nix: maxConnections default = 4096
- .env.example: updated default and comment

This allows the relay to handle more concurrent connections and reduces
the likelihood of connection exhaustion under normal load. The previous
limit of 2000 was too conservative for production deployments.
