xen/hypfs: fix writing of custom parameter

Today the maximum allowed data length for writing a hypfs node is
tested in the generic hypfs_write() function. For custom runtime
parameters this might be wrong, as the maximum allowed size is derived
from the buffer holding the current setting, while there might be ways
to set the parameter needing more characters than the minimal
representation of that value.

One example for this is the "ept" parameter. Its value buffer is sized
to be able to hold the string "exec-sp=0" or "exec-sp=1", while it is
allowed to use e.g. "no-exec-sp" or "exec-sp=yes" for setting it.

Fix that by moving the length check one level down to the type
specific write function.

In order to avoid allocation of arbitrary sized buffers use a new
MAX_PARAM_SIZE macro as an upper limit for custom writes. The value
of MAX_PARAM_SIZE is the same as the limit in parse_params() for a
single parameter.
