Make IO_SIZE configurable

The default IO_SIZE of 4096 as defined in include/my_global.h and also
in libmariadb's include/ma_global.h matches to the memory page size of
most systems. Larger page sizes are widely supported, called "huge
pages" in Linux, "superpages" in FreeBSD, and "large pages" in MS
Windows.

On POSIX systems, obtaining the page size can be done via:

	page_size= sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE);

On Windows:

	SYSTEM_INFO si;
	GetSystemInfo(&si);
	page_size= si.dwPageSize;

Making mariadb's IO_SIZE configurable enables more straight-forward
investigation of the performance implications of having an IO_SIZE which
is different than the memory page size.

Note that libmariadb's include/ma_global.h should also be adjusted to
avoid a double #define of IO_SIZE and to ensure they are defined to be
the same.
