Limit number of connections to the datastore API

[alexandru-m-g]

@teodorescuserban We will need to have nginx limit the request rate (total and from a single IP) to the datastore api. For the total allowed requests we should find a reasonable number that CKAN could deal with without going down.

For more information check #2379

Please note the limits on nginx can be either per seconds or per minutes.

Another advise from ckan-dev mailing list:

• the following URLs allow a user to export datastore data to CSV and should probably be blocked: /datastore/dump/RESOURCE_ID
