this configuration variable controls how many root versions the client will upgrade in a single refresh(). The idea is to prevent a malicious repository from filling the disk with root versions. We want a number that is high enough that a repository should not have made that many roots in the time that clients take to update the "embedded" root that the client shipped with ship with. 32 is small enough that a repository could reach it while clients with v1 embedded in them are still in use. Let's bump to 256: this should be plenty. Signed-off-by: Jussi Kukkonen <jkukkonen@google.com>

32 is small enough that a repository could possibly reach it while clients with v1 embedded in them are still in use. Let's bump to 256: this should be plenty.
