file-posix: add `aio-max-batch` option
Commit d7ddd0a161 ("linux-aio: limit the batch size using
`aio-max-batch` parameter") added a way to limit the batch size
of Linux AIO backend for the entire AIO context.
The same AIO context can be shared by multiple devices, so
latency-sensitive devices may want to limit the batch size even
more to avoid increasing latency.
For this reason we add the `aio-max-batch` option to the file
backend, which will be used by the next commits to limit the size of
batches including requests generated by this device.
