Subject: [PATCH] GameDB: Tweak compat settings for Parasite Eve 2

We no longer need to disable read speedup all the time thanks to the
new DisableCDROMSpeedupOnMDEC trait. Unfortunately we still have to
increase the max speedup cycles to avoid other issues ranging from
the game simply freezing to audio glitches during area transitions.
