Increase BUILD_MIN_BIOSTABLE for large roms

BUILD_MIN_BIOSTABLE reserves space in the f-segment.  Some data
structures -- for example disk drives known to seabios -- must be
stored there, so the space available here limits the number of
devices seabios is able to manage.

This patch sets BUILD_MIN_BIOSTABLE to 8k for bios images being 256k or
larger in size.  32bit code is moved off in that case, so we have more
room in the f-segment then.
