[PATCH] virsh: Fix integer overflow in allocpages

I've came across an aarch64 system which supports hugepages up to
16GiB of size. However, I was unable to allocate them using
virsh allocpages. This is because cmdAllocpages() uses
vshCommandOptScaledInt(), which scales passed value into bytes,
but since the virNodeAllocPages() expects size in KiB the
variable holding bytes is then divided by 1024. However, the
limit for the biggest value passed to vshCommandOptScaledInt() is
UINT_MAX which is now obviously wrong, as it needs to be UINT_MAX
* 1024.

The same bug is in completer. But here, let's use ULLONG_MAX so
that we don't have to care about it anymore.
