config: reduce default mempool size (#2300)

* config: reduce default mempool size

This reduces the mempool size from 100k to 5k. Note that each secp256k1 sig
takes .5ms to compute. Therefore an adversary could previously delay every
node on the network's computation time upon receiving a block by 50 seconds.

This now reduces that ability to being able to only delay each node by 2.5
seconds. This change should be reverted once ABCI recheck is implemented.

* (squash this) fix test
