increase default memsize to 64mb

it is unlikely that qk1 would actually be run on a machine
with constrained resources at this point.  in fact, people
often suggest a memsize of 192, but it's unclear whether
these mods *actually* need that much memory.  in any case
this avoids stupid errors people could have at first
contact.

+By default, qk1 allocates 64 MB of memory for its internal heap.  This amount

 can be controlled via the -m command line parameter like so:

-	; quake -m 16

+	# same for games/qwcl, games/qwsv

+	; games/quake -m 192

 It is necessary to increase it when playing on larger resolutions, else qk1

-might crash with errors such as 'Hunk_Alloc: failed on 548512 bytes'.

+might crash with errors such as 'Hunk_Alloc: failed on 548512 bytes'.  Mods

+may require more memory as well.  The old default was 12 MB, so it can also

+be lowered in the unlikely case that it's necessary.
