libsnapshot: Set default cluster size to 200
Grouping metadata into clusters decreases the overhead occured by extra reads. Assuming a constant added cost with reads, we currently measure this to be around 1.2 microseconds. For an entire OTA, this can add up to several seconds of time. Setting the cluster size to 200 removes 99.5% of that extra time, while adding 20 bytes per 200 ops, as well as up to 200*20 byes (4kb) unused space near the end of the file, although it would be half of that on average. We save 99.5% of the overhead of separate reads for a 0.5% space increase. We've opted for a change to the default so that tools that estimate cow size and any others will automatically be kept up to date, without needing to update the value everywhere.
