Initialize session buffer size to value set by sysctl

Currently in libfuse, the buffer size for a fuse session is
capped at 1 MiB on a 4k page system. A recent patch
upstream [1] was merged that allows the max number of pages
per fuse request to be dynamically configurable through the
/proc/sys interface (/proc/sys/fs/fuse/max_pages_limit).

This commit adds support for this on the libfuse side to set
the fuse session buffer to take into account the max pages
limit set in /proc/sys/fs/fuse/max_pages_limit. If this
sysctl does not exist (eg older kernels), it will default to
old behavior (using FUSE_MAX_MAX_PAGES (256) as the max pages
limit). This allows for things like bigger write buffers per
request.
