5c3eaf9983043db1b61a98c95d692a6958670b86 doc: Add warnings for http interfaces limitations (Fabian Jahr)

Pull request description:

  `libevent`, which is used for our rest interface, can use up all of the available file descriptors in a system if too many connections are opened at once. If a new block is connected at the same time and can not be written to disk because there are no file descriptors available, the node crashes. Based on my investigation so far the issue is best solved upstream which means we have to wait for the next release (2.2). In the meantime it would be good if we would warn users of this limitation.

  See #11368 for more background.
