Change the default of --enable-assume-ram from 32 to 128 MiB.
This is to allow files created with "xz -9" to be decompressed if the amount of RAM cannot be determined.

On some systems, there is no code to detect the amount of
RAM though. Using --enable-assume-ram one can set how much
memory to assume on these systems. SIZE is given as MiB.
- The default is 32 MiB, which is probably too low for most
- systems, but it is enough to allow decompressing .xz files
- created with the default settings.
+ The default is 128 MiB, which allows decompressing files
+ created with "xz -9".
Feel free to send patches to add support for detecting
the amount of RAM on the operating system you use. See
