Deleted setMaxConnections() and DEPRECATED reserveSocketConnections

setMaxConnections() was deprecated many version ago and is now deleted

reserveSocketConnections() is no longer needed since new HomeKit architecture does not require more than a few connections - this function has been deprecated and if used will not do anything
