--map-nr-entries?

I think we use this jargon "nr-entries" for arrays, lists, etc, better
try to stick to it.

Also what do you think about not using single letter options for things
that are not that used?

The map size has a default, one that seems generous, so changing it
should be something uncommon, and then, if it becomes common that more
entries are needed by default, we can change the default in the tool.
