Large copy range may imply memory allocation and large io effort, so using 2G copy range request may be bad idea. Let's limit it to 16 MiB. It also helps the following patch to refactor copy-with-offload fallback to copy-with-bounce-buffer.
Note, that total memory usage of backup is still not limited, it will be fixed in further commit.
