feat(server): spawn task sooner in listenloop + fast accept

[pankgeorg]

So, this is a bit speculative, but I'm very very concerned about the backlog getting big; I think it's always a good idea to get through as many accepts as possible, before spawning the tasks to handle the connections. This builds on #1102 and adds a acceptmany function that returns a vector of accepted connections, if they are available.

I've run some benchmarks (this commit) on this and it seems that it helps for the benchmarks that are connection intensive:

see latency-average for plaintext and json (the db related queries also benefit from async query send)
