drop Dpkg::MaxArgs in favor of Dpkg::MaxArgsBytes
We had an old FIXME saying that it is probably pointless to do this if we limit by length of the commandline already and I completely agree. The splitting is bad enough if it must be done, so we should only do it if we have to (as in absolute length of commandline) and, but that is just a remark, it is unlikely that we ever have/had a call triggering this as the default value was ~32000 items…
