git-compat-util: make MAX_IO_SIZE define globally available

We define MAX_IO_SIZE within wrapper.c, but it's useful for any code
that wants to do a raw write() for whatever reason (say, because they
want different EAGAIN handling). Let's make it available everywhere.

The alternative would be adding xwrite_foo() variants to give callers
more options. But there's really no reason MAX_IO_SIZE needs to be
abstracted away, so this give callers the most flexibility.
