pgsql: Increase max_wal_size's default from 128MB to 1GB.

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.
