write_http: control rate using only one parameter

- do not enable the feature with an on/off switch. Enable it by setting
  a positive value to the parameter instead. Therefore drop the
  arbitrary default value used previously.

- rename LowLimitBytesPerSec to LowSpeedLimit.

- make LowSpeedLimit refer to bytes per second rather than bytes per
  Interval.
