Re: idea -- MAX_PUSH_RESOURCE_SIZE

Note that the FF strategy (which we've discussed Chromium side) is to start
with smaller per-stream receive windows by default, and upgrade them
immediately for normal streams, or as Pat calls them, "pull" streams. This
would let stuff like push streams, or as Chromium is discussing, web
platform prefetch/prerender/etc streams, start with smaller receive windows.
