lemmy_server API for Clients and Federation alike, concurrency self-awareness, load sheding, and self-tuning

Heavy loads have been brought up several times, major social events where people flock to social media. Such as a terrorist bombing, submarine sinking, earthquake, nuclear meltdown, celebrity airplane crash, etc.

Low-budget hosting to compete with the tech giants is also a general concern for the project. Trying not to have a server that uses tons of expensive resources during some peak usage.

Load shedding and self-tuning within the code and for SysOps to have some idea if their Lemmy server is nearing overload thresholds.
