nbd: Allow larger requests
The NBD layer was breaking up request at a limit of 2040 sectors (just under 1M) to cater to old qemu-nbd. But the server limit was raised to 32M in commit 2d821488 to match the kernel, more than three years ago; and the upstream NBD Protocol is proposing documentation that without any explicit communication to state otherwise, a client should be able to safely assume that a 32M transaction will work. It is time to rely on the larger sizing, and any downstream distro that cares about maximum interoperability to older qemu-nbd servers can just tweak the value of #define NBD_MAX_SECTORS.
