Description
Is it possible to provide customisation for the size of Multi-value integer values like how it is there for Integers
sql_attr_uint = myattr:3
similarly for
rt_attr_multi = mymva:7
So that even MVA value size can be customised.

Research direction
Start by tracing how the rt_attr_multi and sql_attr_uint configuration directives parse and store attribute sizes. Compare the existing integer-size handling with MVA handling, then identify the relevant tests or configuration coverage. Done means MVA values accept a configurable size using syntax like rt_attr_multi = mymva:7 and the behavior is tested.
