Increase L2ARC write rate and headroom
Current L2ARC write rate and headroom parameters are very conservative:
l2arc_write_max=8M and l2arc_headroom=2 (ie: a full L2ARC writes at
8 MB/s, scanning 16/32 MB of ARC tail each time; a warming L2ARC runs
at 2x these rates).

These values were selected 15+ years ago based on then-current SSDs
size, performance and endurance. Today we have multi-TB, fast and
cheap SSDs which can sustain much higher read/write rates.

For this reason, this patch increases l2arc_write_max to 32M and
l2arc_headroom to 8 (4x increase for both).
