Previously a min cap of 5 has been set in the commit introducing
proactive compaction. This was to make sure users don't hurt themselves
by setting the proactiveness to 100 and making their system
unresponsive. But the compaction mechanism has a backoff mechanism that
will sleep for 30s if no progress is made, so I don't see a significant
risk here. My system (20GB of memory) has been perfectly fine with
proactiveness set to 100 and leeway set to 0.
