Bump core.deltaBaseCacheLimit to 96m

The default of 16m causes serious thrashing for large delta chains
combined with large files.

Here are some benchmarks (pu variant of git blame):

time git blame -C src/xdisp.c >/dev/null

for a repository of Emacs repacked with git gc --aggressive (v1.9,
resulting in a window size of 250) located on an SSD drive.  The file in
question has about 30000 lines, 1Mb of size, and a history with about
2500 commits.

    16m (previous default):
    real 3m33.936s
    user 2m15.396s
    sys 1m17.352s

    32m:
    real 3m1.319s
    user 2m8.660s
    sys 0m51.904s

    64m:
    real 2m20.636s
    user 1m55.780s
    sys 0m23.964s

    96m:
    real 2m5.668s
    user 1m50.784s
    sys 0m14.288s

    128m:
    real 2m4.337s
    user 1m50.764s
    sys 0m12.832s

    192m:
    real 2m3.567s
    user 1m49.508s
    sys 0m13.312s
