The Workers runtime now releases connection slots when response headers arrive, rather than when the response body is fully consumed. This means the 6-connection limit only constrains how many connections can be in the 'waiting for headers' phase simultaneously. Remove documentation of stall detection and forced connection cancellation (Response closed due to connection limit), as this behavior is no longer observable with the new slot release timing. Keep the response.body.cancel() advice for memory management. Add a changelog entry for the change.
