libbb: use ARG_MAX for bb_arg_max() only if it's 60k+
Sometimes ARG_MAX is small (like 32k) yet sysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX) is big, and people prefer using the bigger value. OTOH, with sufficiently large ARG_MAX, further wins from sysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX) being bigger are exponentially smaller: you can see 4 times fewer fork+execs when you run find, but when each execed process already takes a thousand parameters it's likely execution time is dominated by what that process does with each parameter. Thus, with this change ARG_MAX is used if it's sufficiently big, otherwise sysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX) is used. Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko <vda.linux@googlemail.com>
