[PATCH v2 1/2] common/dmlogwrites: add _require_log_writes_sized helper

Add a new helper function _require_log_writes_sized() to check if the
LOGWRITES_DEV meets a minimum size requirement.

This is useful for tests that use dm-log-writes with additional space
requirements, such as creating LVM snapshots during log replay or tests
that generate large amounts of logged I/O operations.

The function takes a size parameter in KB, calls _require_log_writes()
internally, and skips the test if LOGWRITES_DEV is smaller than the
required size.

v2:
- Renamed function from _require_logwrites_size to _require_log_writes_sized
- Added documentation comment clarifying the parameter is in KB
- Made function call _require_log_writes() internally to avoid redundant
  calls in test code
