fuse: enable large folios

Enable large folios, capping the max order at the largest request fuse
can issue, so a folio always fits within a single request. The order
range minimum is 0, so under memory pressure the allocator falls back to
smaller folios.

Benchmarks (libfuse passthrough_hp, buffered fio, single job, 4 GiB
file, medians, NUMA-pinned, performance governor, strictlimiting on by
default):

(*) device-bandwidth bound. Not much throughput gain but system cpu
utilization was roughly halved
(+) random write was tested as an overwrite of a hot region (under
writeback, this is page-cache bound, so the gain comes from lower
per-folio cpu overhead rather than higher backing-device throughput)

Random reads (4k and 128k) and writethrough writes were neutral with
no regression (no read-modify-write or read-amplification penalty from
large folios)
