Log:
Mention maxPostSize change in Tomcat 7 and 8.
This caused several (~5) threads on users.
Some people reported facing it when upgrading from an old Tomcat 7 version to
current Tomcat 8. (reported via documentation comments)
Overall this change is not so important, but it is hard to debug it and match
the observed behaviour with changelog.
