[PATCH] fix internal errors on 64-bit remote tarets


remote.exp fails on mips-sde-elf because remote.c tries to limit the
minimum remote packet size to 20:
                                                                                
     - six bytes for $,:#NN                                                     
     - one byte for 'M' or 'X'                                                  
     - eight bytes for the address                                              
     - two bytes of hex-encoded payload                                         
     - two bytes of hex-encoded length                                          
     - one byte for null termination                                            
                                                                                
which does indeed come out to 20.  Except this is obviously wrong for
64-bit targets and is subtlely wrong for mips-sde-elf, because CORE_ADDR
there is a 64-bit type.  This patch bumps up the size unconditionally
and adds an explanatory comment about how we get to the value we did.
                                                                                
Tested on mips-sde-elf.  OK to commit?
