If you look at the output of "multipathd show config", with this change
multipath is not longer printing the built-in defaults for some options
that do have defined defaults. Fixing this probably just requires using
declare_def_snprint_defint() instead of declare_def_snprint() for these
options it dict.c.

I think this will be confusing. The default for max_sectors_kb is
undefined (i.e. if users don't set it, multipath doesn't doesn't change
the existing sysfs value for max_sectors_kb for the path devices).
Instead of just printing nothing, we will now print that max_sectors_kb
has been set to 0, which isn't actually true. I don't disagree that we
should explicitly set the value for the multipath device. I just think
that we should either print nothing, or define a print function that
prints "undefined" or something for 0 and the number otherwise, and use
that to generate the string to print, much like how
select_san_path_err_recovery_time() and others use print_off_int_undef()
