Description:

This increase is in anticipation of the next CaC/content release which would hit these issues during stabilization testing (as revealed in a simulated release testing).

Also, a small unrelated documentation change is included in a separate commit - automated access to the fossies URL returns HTTP 401, and even manual query past the bot check yields "File Not Found".

Rationale:

Since Contest can handle up to 100G, and since modern RHEL requires a lot more than RHEL many years ago, I think the increase in our kickstart defaults is justified, so we don't have to shuffle a few MBs every release.

Review Hints:

Probably /packit test -i contest-all + internal productization daily (I'll start it) should be sufficient to ensure Contest has no issues with these changes.

9e6d3c7 introduced kickstart files for cui_enhanced. And if I'm not mistaken the iec 62443 profile will introduce a new kickstart for RHEL9 as well.

Okay, is the IEC profile PR filed? I can't find it. @ggbecker

If it is, I'd wait for it to be merged and then update both, ... if not, I can just extend this PR with cui_enhanced.
