Comment (by itamarst):

 The segment fetching code is complex enough that I don't think it's worth
 messing with at this juncture. So I'm just going to increase segment size,
 which at least will help with new uploads. Let's say... 1MB, from current
 128KB.

 Required testing and checks:

 * An upload with 128KB segment can be downloaded by client with 1MB
 expected max segment.
 * An upload with 1MB segment can be downloaded by client with 128KB
 expected max segment.
 * Validate all uses of DEFAULT_MAX_SEGMENT_SIZE are advisory, if not add
 more bullet points here.
