Increase Nginx upload limit to 100m, improve related docs [#5496].

Browse Source 
By increasing the limit from 8m to 100m, we should immediately fix initial
problems for people trying to upload audio or video. From there, they can read
the documentation more closely when they try to upload larger files.
