The blog post for Nim 2.0.0 RC1 used binary size measurements that were taken from the blog post for Nim 1.6.0 (2021-10-19). Update the data for Nim 2.0.0 RC1 (and RC2).
Also, mention -d:release rather than -d:danger. The referenced repo made that change for the first optimized build options. Rationale: we can save a few more KiB with -d:danger, but that's not worth giving any impression that "Nim binaries are only small in danger mode".
Avoid otherwise-inevitable comments of "yes, the Nim binary is smaller, but it isn't even safe".
