Issue 1476: the operator's messages paused at 20 an hour, a constant (CapPerHour) in the messenger's code that no setting could change. The operator asked for a setting, a higher limit, and a way to turn the pause off.
messages-per-hour: number, 0..1000, default 100, untrusted; in the settings file's takes-config and template, read by readSettings; unset means 100.
0 means no hourly cap: nothing is held and the "paused for this hour" message is never sent. The pause message names the real number.
The tell verb's own cap (TellCapPerHour 10, ADR 0380 §8) is unchanged.
Tests: unset holds the 101st and the pause message says 100 (failed first: sent 21); 0 lets 500 through with no pause message (failed first). 1476/AC4 is proven live after delivery.

Issue 1476: the operator's messages paused at 20 an hour, a constant (CapPerHour) in the messenger's code that no setting could change. The operator asked for a setting, a higher limit, and a way to turn the pause off.
messages-per-hour: number, 0..1000, default 100, untrusted; in the settings file's takes-config and template, read by readSettings; unset means 100.Tests: unset holds the 101st and the pause message says 100 (failed first: sent 21); 0 lets 500 through with no pause message (failed first). 1476/AC4 is proven live after delivery.
