We were using the default ones, provided by RFC7540. It appears they are way
too restrictive and conservative: when downloading something relatively big,
a stream keeps spending the whole session/its own 'recv' windows and thus
we have to constantly send WINDOW_UPDATE frames. This significantly slows
down our HTTP/2 implementation, making it orders of magnitude slower than
HTTP/1.1. To fix this:
- We send SETTINGS_INITIAL_WINDOW_SIZE in the first SETTINGS frame
to inform our peer that per-stream WINDOW is bigger than 64Kb
- We increase the session's receive window size.
