qcow2: Constant cache size in bytes
Specifying the metadata cache sizes in clusters results in less clusters (and much less bytes) covered for small cluster sizes and vice versa. Using a constant byte size reduces this difference, and makes it possible to manually specify the cache size in an easily comprehensible unit.
