block: add max_hw_transfer to BlockLimits

For block host devices, I/O can happen through either the kernel file
descriptor I/O system calls (preadv/pwritev, io_submit, io_uring)
or the SCSI passthrough ioctl SG_IO.

In the latter case, the size of each transfer can be limited by the
HBA, while for file descriptor I/O the kernel is able to split and
merge I/O in smaller pieces as needed.  Applying the HBA limits to
file descriptor I/O results in more system calls and suboptimal
performance, so this patch splits the max_transfer limit in two:
max_transfer remains valid and is used in general, while max_hw_transfer
is limited to the maximum hardware size.  max_hw_transfer can then be
included by the scsi-generic driver in the block limits page, to ensure
that the stricter hardware limit is used.
