disable call to transport_update_waiting if connection_max_messages is set to 1

The wait hints database is not needed when an SMTP transport has
connection_max_messages set to 1.

When connection_max_messages is set to 1, transport_update_waiting is called
and needlessly adds message ids to the wait db which can never be
used/processed by transport_check_waiting since that function will immediately
return FALSE (no more messages can be sent down the existing connection).

The attached patch prevents transport_update_waiting from being called by the
SMTP transport if connection_max_messages is set to 1. The call to
transport_check_waiting does not need to be modified since
transport_check_waiting will already immediately return FALSE when
connection_max_messages is set to 1.

In the particular configuration where this patch is in use, queue_smtp_domains
is set to * and a separate transport with connection_max_messages set to 1 is
used for sending high volumes of email to an ISP's SMTP servers that only
accept one message per TCP connection. For this use case, the change provides a
substantial performance and resource improvement.
