lib/connections: Add syncthing_connections_active metric (fixes #9527) (#9528)

### Purpose

Adds a new metric `syncthing_connections_active` which equals to the
amount of active connections per device.

Fixes #9527 

<!--
Describe the purpose of this change. If there is an existing issue that
is
resolved by this pull request, ensure that the commit subject is on the
form
`Some short description (fixes #1234)` where 1234 is the issue number.
-->

### Testing

I've manually tested it by running syncthing with these changes locally
and examining the returned metrics from `/metrics`.
I've done the following things:
- Connect & disconnect a device
- Increase & decrease the number of connections and verify that the
value of the metric matches with the amount displayed in the GUI.

### Documentation

https://github.com/syncthing/docs/blob/main/includes/metrics-list.rst
needs to be regenerated with
[find-metrics.go](https://github.com/syncthing/docs/blob/main/_script/find-metrics/find-metrics.go)
