IGN-7854: Failure to read authToken prevents the gateway from starting or completing authToken maintenance

Gateway Network
Gateway Network
IGN-8321: Change send/receive thread count to be configurable on a per connection basis rather than gateway wide
Before the PR, the send/receive thread limits were the same values applied to all outgoing connections on the gateway. The thread counts are now configurable on a per-connection basis. Existing connections will take the values previously specified on the gateway. New connections will still have default thread counts of 5 for both sending and receiving, but these values will be configurable when creating and editing a connection.
EAM & Redundancy
IGN-8058: Pausing "Send Tags" task does not exist like other tasks do when setting up a schedule
Allows "Send Tags" scheduled EAM task to be paused like other scheduled tasks.
