cleanup: reformat sentence about max sizes
The extent size must fits all blocks in 4294967295 sectors (in 512b units) this is 1/2 KiB less then 2TiB. So while previous statement 'suggested' 2TiB is still acceptable value, make it clear it's not. As now we support any multiples of 128KB as extent size - values like 2047G will still 'flow-in' otherwise the largest power-of-2 supported value is 1TiB. With 1TiB user needs 8388608 extents for 8EiB device. (FYI such device is already unusable with todays glibc-2.22.90-27) 4GiB extent size is currently the smallest extent size which allows a user to create 8EiB devices (with 2GiB it's less then 8EiB). TODO: lvm2 may possibly print amount of 'lost/unused space' on a PV, since using such ridiculously sized extent size may result in huge space being left unaccessible.
