Subject: [PATCH] cache, cow: Use a 64K block size by default

Based on the results presented in the previous commit, use a 64K block
size by default in both the cache and cow filters.  For the cache
filter you could go back to a 4K block size if you wanted by using the
cache-min-block-size=4K parameter.  For cow it is compiled in so
cannot be adjusted.

(cherry picked from commit c1905b0a28677d961babdb16d6f30ae61042c825)
