 Implement log throttling. The feature reduces the number of potentially flooding logged events by
 dropping all but the first event within a configured time window.
+Throttling is applied to the following log events:
+ - authorization_permission_denied,
+ - cannot_publish_to_topic_due_to_not_authorized,
+ - cannot_publish_to_topic_due_to_quota_exceeded,
+ - connection_rejected_due_to_license_limit_reached,
+ - dropped_msg_due_to_mqueue_is_full.
