Introduce io_max_combine_limit.
The existing io_combine_limit can be changed by users. The new io_max_combine_limit is fixed at server startup time, and functions as a silent clamp on the user setting. That in itself is probably quite useful, but the primary motivation is: aio_init.c allocates shared memory for all asynchronous IOs including some per-block data, and we didn't want to waste memory you'd never used by assuming they could be up to PG_IOV_MAX. This commit already halves the size of 'AioHandleIov' and 'AioHandleData'. A follow-up commit can now expand PG_IOV_MAX without affecting that. Since our GUC system doesn't support dependencies or cross-checks between GUCs, the user-settable one now assigns a "raw" value to io_combine_limit_guc, and the lower of io_combine_limit_guc and io_max_combine_limit is maintained in io_combine_limit.
