GitHub issues: #3175, #3371 contributed by @prefiks, sponsored by CloudAMQP
max_message_size had a one-off error in the validator.

mirroring_sync_batch_size was incorrectly validated as if it represented batch size in bytes.
It represents batch size in number of messages, so the new default hard cap is now 1M (a very high number that's impractical)

Offset parameters were not stored correctly in some cases.
