Increase the maximum log size supported by mkfs.

The log size can be increased easily in mkfs by changing a few
defines and a couple of types to allow the log size to increase to
just under 2GB. Theoretically, the log size can be made much, much
larger than this (up to 2^32 sectors), but going beyond 2^31
*bytes* causes integer overflow issues in the kernel log code.

We use a maximum size of just under 2GB as exactly 2GB will cause
overflow issues on the first transaction reservation.

Maximum log size is now reached at a fs size of ~4TB.
