Re: [whatwg/encoding] Amount of bytes to sniff for encoding detection (#102)

One sixth of detections failing seems like a high error rate, so I think this data indicates we should standardize the number to 4096.

For the slippery-slope argument that Chromium might eventually increase meta tag scanning number to 4096 as well, we'd be happy to add a unit test (perhaps web platform test?) verifying that meta tag scan fails if past 1024 bytes.
