[PATCH pve-docs] installation: zfs: hdsize applies to all disks of the pool

[Dietmar Maurer]

Since pve-installer commit 8269582 ("zfs: assume that all devices are
boot devices"), the installer partitions every disk of a ZFS setup as a
boot disk and limits each of them to hdsize, at every RAID level. The
restriction to the first disk or mirror of a RAID0, RAID1 or RAID10
setup predates that change.
