Shotgun(connect=False) no longer working as expected

Lines 590 to 594 in 41c5369

	if connect:
	self.server_caps
	# Check for api_max_entities_per_page in the server info and change the record per page value if it is supplied.
	self.config.records_per_page = self.server_info.get('api_max_entities_per_page') or self.config.records_per_page

Previously, e.g. in v3.0.22, instantiating a Shotgun object did NOT contact the server. Determining the value of records_per_page should be deferred when connect=False.

PS: I'm using that fix for now, working fine so far:
