Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#30039: dbwrapper: Bump LevelDB max file size to 32 MiB to avoid system slowdown from high disk cache flush rate
b73d3319377a4c9d7e2dd279c3d106002585bc36 dbwrapper: Bump max file size to 32 MiB (Maciej S. Szmigiero) Pull request description: The default max file size for LevelDB is 2 MiB, which results in the LevelDB compaction code generating ~4 disk cache flushes per second when syncing with the Bitcoin network. These disk cache flushes are triggered by `fdatasync()` syscall issued by the LevelDB compaction code when reaching the max file size. If the database is on a HDD this flush rate brings the whole system to a crawl. It also results in very slow throughput since 2 MiB * 4 flushes per second is about 8 MiB / second max throughput, while even an old HDD can pull 100 - 200 MiB / second streaming throughput. Increase the max file size for LevelDB to 128 MiB instead so the flush rate drops to about 1 flush / 2 seconds and the system no longer gets so sluggish. The max file size value chosen also matches the `MAX_BLOCKFILE_SIZE` file size setting already used by the block storage.
