When handling new connections in 'accept_connections' the number of active connections (conn_count) got increased before the callback, which would eventually decrease it got registered in AnyEvent::Handle->new.
Any error/die before registering the callback would skip the decrement, and leave the process in an endless loop upon exiting in wait_end_loop. This can happen e.g. when the call to getpeername fails, or if the connection is denied by the ALLOW_FROM/DENY_FROM settings in '/etc/default/pveproxy' (which is also a simple reproducer for that). Additionally it can cause a denial of service, by attempting to connect from a denied ip until the connection count exeeds the maximum connections of all child-processes. This patch addresses the issue by incrementing the connection count before attempting to create the handle, and decrementing it again, if handle creation fails. A warning is logged if 'conn_count' turns negative when decrementing during cleanup on error/eof. In case creating a new handle during initial accept_connection fails, a warning is logged as well, but 'conn_count' is not decremented.
