Increasing LO_hdr_partn size limit in every chunk in sbspace Metadata partition

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

We have a system with a lot of users and big amount of BLOB/CLOB data. It's critical 24x7 application. It should be created a new sbspace about 1TB - with 8 chunks x 140GB every 6 months, because the limit in LO_hdr_partn in sbspace Metadata Partition in every chunk is reached. It's based on the size limitation of 16777215 pages in LO_hdr_partn in sbspace Metadata Partition which was also the same in v15. Reaching of the limit and potential not adding new sbspace would have huge impact to this 24x7 application.
