Revert "Reduce the size of the HTTP connection pool for non-pushers" (#15530)

#15514 introduced a regression where Synapse would encounter
`PartialDownloadError`s when fetching OpenID metadata for certain
providers on startup. Due to #8088, this prevents Synapse from starting
entirely.

Revert the change while we decide what to do about the regression.
