Our MongoDB driver creates a new temporary connection, for every active
connection, to just do a single heartbeat test. There is configurable
delay between every heartbeat test. When the user has an EMQX cluster
with a MongoDB bridge (to a MongoDB replica set), there will be a lot of
connections. Furthermore, as MongoDB creates a log entry every time a
new connection is created, the log will be flooded with info about new
connection. One user have reported more than 1MB of log data in a 10
minute period.
This commit tries to fix this by increasing the default delay between
heartbeats. A better fix would be to change the MongoDB driver so that
it does not create a new connection just to do a heartbeat check, but
this is more complicated so we leave this to the future. We might also
swap out the current MongoDB driver to something better.

the connector schemas are shared between authn, auth and bridges,
the difference is that authn and authz configs are unions like:
[
{mongo_type = rs,
...
}
{another backend config}
]
however the brdige types are maps like, for example:
mongodb_rs.$name {
mongo_type = rs
...
}
in which case, the mongo_type is not required.
in order to keep the schema static as much as possible,
this field is chanegd to 'required => false' with a default value.
However, for authn and authz, the union selector will still raise
exception if the there is no type provided.

Currently the bridge client’s client ID is prefixed with the resource
ID.
Sometimes it’s useful for users to have control of this prefix,
e.g. prefix based ACL rules in the target broker.
