Subject: [PATCH v4 10/12] 9p: add P9_ERRMAX for 9p2000 and 9p2000.u

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.
