Subject: [PATCH] stream: increase MAX_HWM

MAX_HWM was added in 9208c89 where the highwatermark was changed to
always increase in steps of highest power of 2 to prevent increasing
hwm excessivly in tiny amounts.

Why a limit was added on the highwatermark is unclear but breaks
existing usage where a larger read size is used. The invariant for
read(n) is that a buffer of size n is always returned. Considering
a maximum ceiling on the buffer size breaks this invariant.

This PR significantly increases the limit to make it less likely to
break the previous invariant and also documents the limit.

 automatically until the internal buffer is fully drained.
