This macro is exported as a part of the user API so it must not depend on
Kconfig. Also changing it (rather than say adding COMMAND_LINE_SIZE_V2 or
switching to an entirely new data object that has its dimension set in a
different way) requires careful evaluation as external binaries have and
will have the value it expands to compiled in, so it's a part of the ABI
too.
