Increase the default media chunksize to 100MB.

craigcitro · craigcitro · commit d1aa691facb8 · 2018-02-28T15:31:08.000-08:00
The current `DEFAULT_CHUNK_SIZE` of 512kb leads to unnecessarily slow transfers, as in googlecolab/backend-container#1. Increasing this simply lowers the overhead for large transfers. Fixes googleapis#481.
