Option to adjust max_prepared_stmt_count in MySQL ICD

As Developers of Cloudnative Telco AAA Systems the performance of the system highly depends of the performance of the database.
To compensate for higher latency in cloud database and to further scale the performance we increase connections.
The database performance scales well and this allows us to achieve more QPS/TPS.
We hit a limit on max_prepared_stmt_count.
Can\'t create more than max_prepared_stmt_count statements (current value: 16382)
It seems to me a good idea to align the max_prepared_stmt_count with the max_connections config item.

This would be either good to be exposed via api or set to a higher number then the default.
