qcow2: Increase the default upper limit on the L2 cache size
The upper limit on the L2 cache size is increased from 1 MB to 32 MB
on Linux platforms, and to 8 MB on other platforms (this difference is
caused by the ability to set intervals for cache cleaning on Linux
platforms only).
This is done in order to allow default full coverage with the L2 cache
for images of up to 256 GB in size (was 8 GB). Note, that only the
needed amount to cover the full image is allocated. The value which is
changed here is just the upper limit on the L2 cache size, beyond which
it will not grow, even if the size of the image will require it to.
