Increase maximum number of live toolkits allowed

See TS022572357 (https://www.ibm.com/mysupport/s/case/500gJ00000E6TaLQAV/can-max-live-toolkits-available-be-increased-from-5-to-15-in-our-tenant?language=en_US) for the original ticket about this.

We currently have 12 sub-agents, and each has multiple tools. I would like to roll up each sub-agent's tools into its own toolkit, but this isn't possible due to the max limit of 5 toolkits.

Attached is a screenshot of the error received when attempting to deploy an agent with a 6th toolkit to live. Also see below:
