Shared with existing entries in this file, but let's strive to make
sure we explicitly mention units.  --max-cruft-size=<n> is explained
to cramp below '<n>' bytes, which is great, --max-pack-size=<n> says
it accepts k/m/g suffixes and its minimum size is 1 MiB, which is
explicit enough hint that this is counted in bytes.  This new entry
should hint that this is also counted in bytes.
