vmselect: ensure default -search.maxConcurrentRequests is non-decreasing (#6996)

### Describe Your Changes

vmselect determines the default value of `-search.maxConcurrentRequests`
multiplying the number of available CPUs by 2 if and only if the number
is small (to be precise <= 4). That leads
`-search.maxConcurrentRequests` is decreasing at the edge of these two
cases as shown below:
| CPUs | MaxConcurrentRequests | MaxConcurrentRequests (original
proposal) | MaxConcurrentRequests (updated proposal) |
|--------|--------|--------|--------|
| 1 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
| 2 | 4 (prev+2) | 4 (prev+2) | 4 (prev+2) |
| 3 | 6 (prev+2) | 6 (prev+2) | 6 (prev+2) |
| 4 | 8 (prev+2) | 8 (prev+2) | 8 (prev+2) |
| 5 | 5 __(prev-3)__ | 9 __(prev+1)__ | 10 __(prev+2)__ |
| 6 | 6 (prev+1) | 10 (prev+1) | 12 (prev+2) |
| 7 | 7 (prev+1) | 11 (prev+1) | 14 (prev+2) |
| 8 | 8 (prev+1) | 12 (prev+1) | 16 (prev+2) |

I propose to make the default value non-decreasing.
