Increase max_wal_size's default from 128MB to 1GB.
The introduction of min_wal_size & max_wal_size in 88e982302684 makes it feasible to increase the default upper bound in checkpoint size. Previously raising the default would lead to a increased disk footprint, even if more segments weren't beneficial. The low default of checkpoint size is one of common performance problem users have thus increasing the default makes sense. Setups where the increase in maximum disk usage is a problem will very likely have to run with a modified configuration anyway.
