fs: littlefs: Fix lookahead buffer sizing

The lookahead buffer is a bitmap containing info on free blocks and does
not have a minimum size or an alignment requirement.

This fixes the arbitrary 4 * block_size requirement for block devices
and fixes Kconfig documentation to remove a reference to nonexistent
8 byte alignment requirement.
