Default setting of cp-accel-mode is changed to none on 2GB memory models

Default setting of cp-accel-mode is changed to none on 2GB memory models

This change disables CP acceleration to lower system memory usage thus can prevent some unexpected behavior due to lack of memory.

Previous FortiOS CLI behavior:

config ips global
    set cp-accel-mode advanced
end

New FortiOS CLI behavior after upgrade:

config ips global
    set cp-accel-mode none
end

This change will cause performance impact as CPU will do the pre-match (pattern match) inside IPS (CPU) instead of hardware engine (cp module in SOC4). Some customers could expect an increase in CPU utilization as a result.

FortiGate and FortiWiFi 4xF/6xF families are affected by this change.
