[PATCH v2 3/6] git-compat-util: make MAX_IO_SIZE define globally available

We define MAX_IO_SIZE within wrapper.c, but it's useful for any code that wants to do a raw write() for whatever reason (say, because they want different EAGAIN handling). Let's make it available everywhere.

The alternative would be adding xwrite_foo() variants to give callers more options. But there's really no reason MAX_IO_SIZE needs to be abstracted away, so this give callers the most flexibility.

I did actually write xwrite_nonblock() at first, and I could be
persuaded to go in that direction if we prefer. But given that using it
sanely requires the caller to have a poll() loop, I feel like
pipe_command() is already the right level of abstraction.
