Increase nginx keepalive settings.

Increase both the number of requests per keepalive connection and
the number of keepalive connections to retain. This should reduce
the number of sockets used for a single connection and therefore
make it less likely that nginx will experience ephemeral socket
exhaustion at high request rates.

Closes #255
