The fact that Seastar's semaphore has a default initializer of 1 if not
explicitly initialized is confusing and unexpected and recently lead to
two bugs. So ScyllaDB should not rely on this default behavior, and specify
the initial value of each semaphore explicitly.
In several cases in the ScyllaDB code, the explict initialization was
missing, and this patch adds it. In one case (rate_limiter) I even think
the default of 1 was a bit strange, and 0 makes more sense.
