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.
