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

------
REL_16_STABLE
