cbfs: Increase mcache size defaults
The CBFS mcache size default was eyeballed to what should be "hopefully enough" for most users, but some recent Chrome OS devices have already hit the limit. Since most current (and probably all future) x86 chipsets likely have the CAR space to spare, let's just double the size default for all supporting chipsets right now so that we hopefully won't run into these issues again any time soon. The CBFS_MCACHE_RW_PERCENTAGE default for CHROMEOS was set to 25 under the assumption that Chrome OS images have historically always had a lot more files in their RO CBFS than the RW (because l10n assets were only in RO). Unfortunately, this has recently changed with the introduction of updateable assets. While hopefully not that many boards will need these, the whole idea is that you won't know whether you need them yet at the time the RO image is frozen, and mcache layout parameters cannot be changed in an RW update. So better to use the normal 50/50 split on Chrome OS devices going forward so we are prepared for the eventuality of needing RW assets again. The RW percentage should really also be menuconfig-controllable, because this is something the user may want to change on the fly depending on their payload requirements. Move the option to the vboot Kconfigs because it also kinda belongs there anyway and this makes it fit in better in menuconfig. (I haven't made the mcache size menuconfig-controllable because if anyone needs to increase this, they can just override the default in the chipset Kconfig for everyone using that chipset, under the assumption that all boards of that chipset have the same amount of available CAR space and there's no reason not to use up the available space. This seems more in line with how this would work on non-x86 platforms that define this directly in their memlayout.ld.) Also add explicit warnings to both options that they mustn't be changed in an RW update to an older RO image.
