#3859: r.out.gdal: Do not fail with big tiffs if user does not provide BIGTIFF=YES

In r.out.gdal I get Error 1 Maximum TIFF file size exceeded. Use
BIGTIFF=YES.
Would be great if GRASS could use BIGTIFF=IF_NEEDED/IF_SAFER by default
when exporting GeoTiff or if it could compute the required creation option
from region size, number of bands and data type...

The idea of using GDAL/OGR is that the code does not need to bother about
format-specific options. By now GRASS code does take care of some special
formats to prevent errors and/or to follow GDAL instructions, but for code
maintenance I would like to keep this to a minimum.
There is a reason (on the GDAL side) why BIGTIFF=YES is not the default:
not all (Geo)Tiff drivers support BIGTIFF.
