UBIFS: use max_write_size for write-buffers

Switch write-buffers from 'c->min_io_size' to 'c->max_write_size' which
presumably has to be more write speed-efficient. However, when write-buffer
is synchronized, write only the the min. I/O units which contain the
data, do not write whole write-buffer. This is more space-efficient.

Additionally, this patch takes into account that the LEB might not start
from the max. write unit-aligned address.

* UBIFS distinguishes between minimum write size (@c->min_io_size) and maximum

* boundary) which contains data is written, not the whole write-buffer,
* because this is more space-efficient.
*
* This optimization adds few complications to the code. Indeed, on the one
* hand, we want to write in optimal @c->max_write_size bytes chunks, which
* also means aligning writes at the @c->max_write_size bytes offsets. On the
* other hand, we do not want to waste space when synchronizing the write
* buffer, so during synchronization we writes in smaller chunks. And this makes
* the next write offset to be not aligned to @c->max_write_size bytes. So the
* have to make sure that the write-buffer offset (@wbuf->offs) becomes aligned
* to @c->max_write_size bytes again. We do this by temporarily shrinking
* write-buffer size (@wbuf->size).
