feat(relay): Allow to customize max_results per connection in relay

RELEASE.md

+Release type: minor
+
+Add the ability to override the "max results" a relay's connection can return on
+a per-field basis.
+
+The default value for this is defined in the schema's config, and set to `100`
+unless modified by the user. Now, that per-field value will take precedence over
+it.
+
+For example:
+
+```python
+@strawerry.type
+class Query:
+    # This will still use the default value in the schema's config
+    fruits: ListConnection[Fruit] = relay.connection()
+
+    # This will reduce the maximum number of results to 10
+    limited_fruits: ListConnection[Fruit] = relay.connection(max_results=10)
+
+    # This will increase the maximum number of results to 10
+    higher_limited_fruits: ListConnection[Fruit] = relay.connection(max_results=10_000)
+```
+
+Note that this only affects `ListConnection` and subclasses. If you are
+implementing your own connection resolver, there's an extra keyword named
+`max_results: int | None` that will be passed to it.

+### Max results for connections
+
+The implementation of `relay.ListConnection` will limit the number of results to
+the `relay_max_results` configuration in the
+[schema's config](../types/schema-configurations.md) (which defaults to `100`).
+
+That can also be configured on a per-field basis by passing `max_results` to the
+`@connection` decorator. For example:

+```python
+@strawerry.type
+class Query:
