Dominik Csapak 2650923a42 fix #6230: increase allowed post size
In some situations, e.g., when one has a large resource mapping, the
UI can generate a request that is bigger than the current limit of
64KiB.

Our files in pmxcfs can grow up to 1 MiB, so theoretically, a single
mapping can grow to that size. In practice, a single entry will have
much less. In #6230, a user has a mapping with about ~130KiB.

Increase the limit to 512KiB so we have a bit of headroom left.

We have to also increase the 'rbuf_max' size here, otherwise the
request will fail (since the buffer is too small for the request).
Since the post limit and the rbuf_max are tightly coupled, let it
reflect that in the code. To do that sum the post size + max header
size there.

A short benchmark shows that it only slightly impacts performance for
the same amount of data (but that could be runtime variance too):

I used a 4 node virtualized cluster, benchmarked with oha[0] with
these options:

ADDR=<IP> oha --insecure -H $COOKIE -H $CSRFTOKEN -D bodyfile \
  -m "PUT" -T "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -n 3000 -c 50 \
  --disable-keepalive --latency-correction \
  "https://$ADDR:8006/api2/json/cluster/mapping/pci/test"

So 3000 requests with 50 parallel. I also restarted pveproxy and
daemon in between runs, and took the rss values around the 50% runtime
of the benchmark.

                    average time  requests/s  pvedaemon rss   pveproxy rss
old with 60k body   3.0067s       16.3487     140M-155M       141M-170M
new with 60k body   3.0865s       15.7623     140M-155M       141M-171M
new with 180k body  8.3834s       5.8934      140M-158M       141M-181M

Using a bigger body size had a large impact on the time, but that's
IMHO expected. Also, RSS is not that much impacted, only when using
many requests with larger request size, but this should also be
expected.
