brian m. carlson 7a2dc95cbc docs: mention when increasing http.postBuffer is valuable
Users in a wide variety of situations find themselves with HTTP push
problems.  Oftentimes these issues are due to antivirus software,
filtering proxies, or other man-in-the-middle situations; other times,
they are due to simple unreliability of the network.

However, a common solution to HTTP push problems found online is to
increase http.postBuffer.  This works for none of the aforementioned
situations and is only useful in a small, highly restricted number of
cases: essentially, when the connection does not properly support
HTTP/1.1.

Document when raising this value is appropriate and what it actually
does, and discourage people from using it as a general solution for push
problems, since it is not effective there.
