Increase the IO_THREADS_MAX_NUM. (valkey-io#1220)

### Description

This patch try to increase the max number of io-threads from 16(128) to
256 for below reasons:

1. The core number increases a lot in the modern server processors, for
example, the [Sierra
Forest](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sierra_Forest) processors are
targeted towards with up to **288** cores.
Due to limitation of **_io-threads_** number (16 and 128 ), benchmark
like https://openbenchmarking.org/test/pts/valkey even cannot run on a
high core count server.

2. For some workloads, the bottleneck could be main thread, but for the
other workloads, big key/value which caused heavy io, the bottleneck
could be the io-threads, for example benchmark `memtier_benchmark -s
127.0.0.1 -p 9001 "--data-size" "20000" --ratio 1:0 --key-pattern P:P
--key-minimum=1 --key-maximum 1000000 --test-time 180 -c 50 -t 16
--hide-histogram`. The QPS is still scalable after 16 io-threads.
