Remove Artificially Low Chunk Size Limits from GCS + Azure Blob Stores (

#59279) (#59564)

Removing these limits as they cause unnecessarily many object in the blob stores.
We do not have to worry about BwC of this change since we do not support any 3rd party
implementations of Azure or GCS.
Also, since there is no valid reason to set a different than the default maximum chunk size at this
point, removing the documentation (which was incorrect in the case of Azure to begin with) for the setting
from the docs.

Closes #56018
