throttle: make throttle_config(throttle_get_config()) symmetric

Throttling has a weird property that throttle_get_config() does not
always return the same throttling settings that were given with
throttle_config().  In other words, the set and get functions aren't
symmetric.

If .max is 0 then the throttling code assigns a default value of .avg /
10 in throttle_config().  This is an implementation detail of the
throttling algorithm.  When throttle_get_config() is called the .max
value returned should still be 0.

Users are exposed to this quirk via "info block" or "query-block"
monitor commands.  This has caused confusion because it looks like a bug
when an unexpected value is reported.

This patch hides the .max value adjustment in throttle_get_config() and
updates test-throttle.c appropriately.
