build fails with ResourceExhausted desc = grpc: received message larger than max #48164

Description

We have a very large generated Dockerfile (15k+ lines), from which we build specific targets.
since docker-engine v27 the builds are failing with

=> [internal] load build definition from Dockerfile                                                                                            
 => => transferring dockerfile: 896.44kB                                                                                                      
ERROR: failed to receive status: rpc error: code = ResourceExhausted desc = grpc: received message larger than max (44865299 vs. 16777216)

with version 26.1.4 it works fine.
I might be wrong here but I think it might be caused by this and introduced with this commit

Will it be possible to increase the MaxCallRecvMsgSize/MaxCallSendMsgSize to math.MaxInt32 ?

Reproduce

Use this simple python script to generate large DockerFile

stages = 300
lines_per_stage = 50

with open("Dockerfile", "w") as f:
    for i in range(stages):
        f.write(f"FROM ubuntu:20.04 as stage{i}\n")
        for j in range(lines_per_stage):
            f.write(f"ENV VAR{i}_{j}=\"This is a large environment variable to increase the size of the Dockerfile.\"\n")
            f.write(f"RUN echo \"This is a large echo statement to increase the size of the Dockerfile.\"\n")
            f.write(f"LABEL key{i}_{j}=\"This is a large label to increase the size of the Dockerfile.\"\n")
        f.write("\n")

    f.write("FROM ubuntu:20.04 as final\n")
    for i in range(stages):
        f.write(f"COPY --from=stage{i} /tmp/stage{i} /tmp/stage{i}\n")
    f.write("RUN echo \"Final stage\"\n")
    f.write("LABEL final_label=\"Final stage label\"\n")

generate the file and try to build a stage

python generate.py                                                                                       
sudo docker build --target stage37 .

Expected behavior

Try the same with docker v26.1.4 and the build passes.
