set unlimited HWM for all relay devices

libzmq-3 set the default HWM for sockets to 1000 from infinite,
which can result in dropped messages on ROUTER or PUB sockets under high load.

 The IPython controller provides a gateway between the IPython engines and
 clients. The controller needs to be started before the engines and can be
 configured using command line options or using a cluster directory. Cluster
 directories contain config, log and security files and are usually located in
 your ipython directory and named as "profile_name". See the `profile`
 and `profile-dir` options for details.
