Unify src/common/'s definitions of MaxAllocSize. Define MaxAllocSize in src/include/common/fe_memutils.h rather than having several copies of it in different src/common/*.c files. This also provides an opportunity to document it better. Back-patch of commit 11b7de4a7, needed now because assorted security fixes are adding additional references to MaxAllocSize in frontend code. Backpatch-through: 14-17 Security: CVE-2026-6473
