Subject: [PATCH v6 08/11] 9p: add P9_ERRMAX for 9p2000 and 9p2000.u

Precedence: bulk

Add P9_ERRMAX macro to 9P protocol header which reflects the maximum
error string length of Rerror replies for 9p2000 and 9p2000.u protocol
versions. Unfortunately a maximum error string length is not defined by
the 9p2000 spec, picking 128 as value for now, as this seems to be a
common max. size for POSIX error strings in practice.

9p2000.L protocol version uses Rlerror replies instead which does not
contain an error string.

This could probably be merged with the next patch, on doubt I posted it
separately as squashing is easy. The advantage of a separate patch is
making the discussion of the chosen value of max. 128 bytes more
prominent.
