Omar Emara f3275f5d12 Compositor: Remove Max Blur option from Bokeh Blur node
This patch removes the Max Blur option from the Bokeh Blur node. The
reasoning is as follows.

- The option was unused in case of non-variable sized blur, which was
  the default, so the option did nothing for the default case of the
  node.
- The option was originally introduced to define the search window of
  variable size blur. This is no longer the case, since we compute the
  search window dynamically from the input using parallel reduction,
  which is now very fast. So currently, it only works as an upper limit.
- The node options will be exposed as inputs, so the user will see two
  inputs that control the radius, which can be confusing for users that
  are not experienced.
- The plan is to make the node take absolute pixel sizes in the future,
  instead of the arbitrary relative size now in place, which would make
  it very easy for the user to impose such limits manually.

It is difficult to version this change, since the size is relative to
the image size, while max blur is in pixels. But we assume the user
chose a sufficiently large max blur for the node to be useful, so the
composite should not be expected to be drastically different.
