Nadav Har'El d32fe72252 Merge 'alternator: check concurrency limit before memory acquisition' from Łukasz Paszkowski
Fix the ordering of the concurrency limit check in the Alternator HTTP server so it happens before memory acquisition, and reduce test pressure to avoid LSA exhaustion on the memory-constrained test node.

The patch moves the concurrency check to right after the content-length early-out, before any memory acquisition or I/O. The check was originally placed before memory acquisition but was inadvertently moved after it during a refactoring. This allowed unlimited requests to pile up consuming memory, reading bodies, verifying signatures, and decompressing — all before being rejected. Restores the original ordering and mirrors the CQL transport (`transport/server.cc`).

Lowers `concurrent_requests_limit` from 5 to 3 and the thread multiplier from 5 to 2 (6 threads instead of 25). This is still sufficient to reliably trigger RequestLimitExceeded, while keeping flush pressure within what 512MB per shard can sustain.

The test started to fail quite recently. It affects master only. No backport is needed. We might want to consider backporting a commit moving the concurrency check earlier.

Closes scylladb/scylladb#29272
