hw/i386/pc_piix.c: restrict isapc machine to 3.5G memory
Since the isapc machine is now limited to using 32-bit CPUs, add a hard restriction so that the machine cannot be started with more than 3.5G memory. This matches the default value for max_ram_below_4g if not specified and provides consistent behaviour betweem TCG and KVM accelerators.
