Add clipping support to lg_chunk option processing.
Modify processing of the lg_chunk option so that it clips an out-of-range input to the edge of the valid range. This makes it possible to request the minimum possible chunk size without intimate knowledge of allocator internals. Submitted by Ian Lepore (see FreeBSD PR bin/174641).
