qemu: Add addition environment space to boot loader qemu-system-mips

The qemu mips malta base board boot loader uses environment strings
with a max length of 256 bytes which is not long enough to accommodate
a long NFS path in addition to the normal kernel boot command line
arguments.

The solution is to expand the environment string length to 1024 bytes.

+qemu: Add addition environment space to boot loader qemu-system-mips 
+
+Upstream-Status: Inappropriate - OE uses deep paths
+
+If you create a project with very long directory names like 128 characters
+deep and use NFS, the kernel arguments will be truncated. The kernel will
+accept longer strings such as 1024 bytes, but the qemu boot loader defaulted
+to only 256 bytes. This patch expands the limit.
