Description

According to @leftwo 's comment: https://github.com/oxidecomputer/omicron/pull/511#discussion_r787191192

In Crucible, extent_size is the number of block_size parts that make up a single extent. (It is not a good name, agreed).

I misinterpreted the name "extent_size" to mean "size of an extent, in bytes".

Could we change the name to reflect that it is a count, not a size?

I'd suggest something like: blocks_per_extent
