Returns a {@link ConnectableObservable} that shares a single subscription to the source ObservableSource that
replays at most {@code bufferSize} items emitted by that ObservableSource. A Connectable ObservableSource resembles
an ordinary ObservableSource, except that it does not begin emitting items when it is subscribed to, but only
when its {@code connect} method is called.
<p>
Note that due to concurrency requirements, {@code replay(bufferSize)} may hold strong references to more than
{@code bufferSize} source emissions.
