Determine the large limit of the quicklist node based on fill (#12659)
Following #12568

In issue #9357, when inserting an element larger than 1GB, we currently
store it in a plain node instead of a listpack.
Presently, when we insert an element that exceeds the maximum size of a
packed node, it cannot be accommodated in any other nodes, thus ending
up isolated like a large element.
I.e. it's a node with only one element, but it's listpack encoded rather
than a plain buffer.

This PR lowers the threshold for considering an element as 'large' from
1GB to the maximum size of a node.
While this change doesn't completely resolve the bug mentioned in the
previous PR, it does mitigate its potential impact.

As a result of this change, we can now only use LSET to replace an
element with another element that falls below the maximum size
threshold.
In the worst-case scenario, with a fill of -5, the largest packed node
we can create is 2GB (32k * 64k):
* 32k: The smallest element in a listpack is 2 bytes, which allows us to
store up to 32k elements.
* 64k: This is the maximum size for a single quicklist node.

## Others
To fully fix #9357, we need more work, as discussed in #12568, when we
insert an element into a quicklistNode, it may be created in a new node,
put into another node, or merged, and we can't correctly delete the node
that was supposed to be deleted.
I'm not sure it's worth it, since it involves a lot of modifications.
