Squash this change into the earlier patch that introduced the #define.

This fails to filter out a value of -1, at least on platforms where
size_t and int64_t are the same size.  It might be better to use
explicit comparison:

if (value < 0 || value > SIZE_MAX)

migrate-set-cachesize - QMP prefers '-' over '_'

512M is not a valid json-int.  Spell it out as 536870912.
