[PATCH v8 8/8] block: lift blocksize property limit to 2 MiB

[Roman Kagan]

Logical and physical block sizes in QEMU are limited to 32 KiB.

This appears unnecessarily tight, and we've seen bigger block sizes
handy at times.

Lift the limitation up to 2 MiB which appears to be good enough for
everybody, and matches the qcow2 cluster size limit.
