dynamic_debug: enlarge command/query write buffer
Current query write buffer is 256 bytes, on stack. In comparison, the ddebug_query boot-arg is 1024. Allocate the buffer off heap, and enlarge it to 4096 bytes, big enough for ~100 queries (at 40 bytes each), and error out if not. This makes it play nicely with large query sets (to be added later). The buffer should be enough for most uses, and others should probably be split into subsets.
