blockdev: Allow overriding if_max_dev property

The if_max_devs table as in the past been an immutable
default that controls the mapping of index => (bus,unit)
for all boards and all HBAs for each interface type.

Since adding this mapping information to the HBA device
itself is currently unwieldly from the perspective of
retrieving this information at option parsing time
(e.g, within drive_new), we consider the alternative
of marking the if_max_devs table mutable so that
later configuration and initialization can adjust the
mapping at will, but only up until a drive is added,
at which point the mapping is finalized.
