Description

A single command line switch sets the queue creation limit value for all users. Typical customers require different limits for different users. This issue tracks moving the user limit specification to the ACL file.

This is a problem very similar to the connection limits in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-4054

The ACL file syntax is

quota queues value <group-name-list>|<user-name-list> [ <group-name-list>|<user-name-list>]

1. A user or group name must be specified on every Acl rule line.

2. Quota values range from 0..65530. A quota value of zero denies connections from that user or group.

3. Quotas specified for pseudo-user "all" are applied to any user who is otherwise unnamed in the rule file.

4. The value supplied by the --max-queues-per-user command line switch is applied to the "all" user before the ACL file is processed.
