Denys Vlasenko 04c1417602 libbb: use ARG_MAX for bb_arg_max() only if it's 60k+
Sometimes ARG_MAX is small (like 32k) yet sysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX)
is big, and people prefer using the bigger value.

OTOH, with sufficiently large ARG_MAX, further wins from
sysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX) being bigger are exponentially smaller:
you can see 4 times fewer fork+execs when you run find, but
when each execed process already takes a thousand parameters
it's likely execution time is dominated by what that process
does with each parameter.

Thus, with this change ARG_MAX is used if it's sufficiently big,
otherwise sysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX) is used.
