tcg: Adjust CODE_GEN_AVG_BLOCK_SIZE

At present, the "average" guestimate of TB size is way too small, leading
to many unused entries in the pre-allocated TB array.  For a guest with 1GB
ram, we're currently allocating 256MB for the array.

Survey arm, alpha, aarch64, ppc, sparc, i686, x86_64 guests running on
x86_64 and ppc64 hosts and select a new average.  The size of the array
drops to 81MB with no more flushing than before.
