cache: lower default size to 2*10MB
Reduce it from 75MB in both directions (forward/backwards) to 10MB each.
The stream cache is kind of becoming useless in favor of the demuxer
cache. Using both doesn't make much sense, because they will contain
duplicated data for no reason.
Still leave it at 10MB, which may help with mp4 a bit. libavformat's mp4
demuxer tends to seek too much, so we try to avoid triggering network
level seeks by having some caching in the stream layer.
