Add separate aggregation limit for non-rotating media

Before sequential scrub patches ZFS never aggregated I/Os above 128KB.
Sequential scrub bumped that to 1MB, supposedly to reduce number of
head seeks for spinning disks.  But for SSDs it makes little to no
sense, especially on FreeBSD, where due to MAXPHYS limitation device
will likely still see bunch of 128KB I/Os instead of one large.
Having more strict aggregation limit for SSDs allows to avoid
allocation of large memory buffer and copy to/from it, that is a
serious problem when throughput reaches gigabytes per second.
