accel/tcg: increase default code gen buffer size for 64 bit

While 32mb is certainly usable a full system boot ends up flushing the
codegen buffer nearly 100 times. Increase the default on 64 bit hosts
to take advantage of all that spare memory. After this change I can
boot my tests system without any TB flushes.

As we usually run more CONFIG_USER binaries at a time in typical usage
we aren't quite as profligate for user-mode code generation usage. We
also bring the static code gen defies to the same place to keep all
the reasoning in the comments together.
