    Increase upper limit for bgwriter_lru_maxpages
    
    The old maximum limited the bgwriter to 780MB/s with 8k pages and a
    bgwriter_delay of 10ms. Modern hardware can easily exceed that.
    
    Current code does not depend on any limits to this setting (at most it
    will make one complete pass through shared buffers per round), but
    setting it higher than the maximum for shared_buffers is surely an
    error, so treat it as such.
