DS8 IBM i Volumes Should Include Modern Sizes in Dropdown

When creating IBM i volumes, the default size dropdown includes all the way from 8 GiB to 262.9 GiB, however with all of our modern IBM i environment, the minimum size we use for iASP at least is 477 GiB, which means that we always just have to choose 099 Variable Size and write in the capacity.

Based on the Miscellaneous Limits for IBM-i 7.5, the supported 512/520 volume size is up to "2 TB minus 1 block" so it would be nice to see the modern set of standard sizes up to that limit included as options as well.
