[Server] Explain why chunkSize is divided by two in Limits > Sharding Existing Collection Data Size

      Description

      https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/limits/#Sharding-Existing-Collection-Data-Size

      maxCollectionSize (MB) = maxSplits * (chunkSize / 2)

      I believe this two stems from the fact that initial chunks will be half full when created. Explaining this would better help users understand how many chunks to expect when sharding a collection.
