vm_image_util.sh: Bump default VM memory to 2 GB

pothos · pothos · commit 7379db37e85d · 2024-04-04T12:55:37.000+09:00
While Flatcar itself runs fine with 1 GB, many workloads do not and
having to debug this is time consuming when one forgets to bump the VM
memory, e.g., in the Qemu script.
Default to 2 GB as known-good setting for things like Kubernetes or
setting up LUKS devices.
