[BUG] File uploads fail which are > 50 MB

Context:

• Playwright Version: 1.3.0
• Operating System: Windows
• Node.js version: 12.18.3
• Browser: Chromium

Code Snippet

const { chromium } = require("playwright");

(async () => {
  const browser = await chromium.launch();
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  await page.setContent(
    '<input type="file" name="fileToUpload" id="fileToUpload">'
  );
  await page.setInputFiles("input", "path/to/large/file.txt");
  await browser.close();
})();

Describe the bug When uploading large file, about 100MB, page.setInputFiles fails. With Firefox and Webkit it takes some time but it works. Log:

  pw:api => page.setContent started +0ms
  pw:api setting frame content, waiting until "load" [] +1ms
  pw:api <= page.setContent succeeded +79ms
  pw:api => page.setInputFiles started +2ms
  pw:api waiting for selector "input" [] +1ms
  pw:api   selector resolved to visible <input type="file" id="fileToUpload" name="fileToUpload"/> [] +26ms
  pw:api <= page.setInputFiles failed +1s
(node:19668) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: page.setInputFiles: Protocol error (Runtime.callFunctionOn): Target closed.

I’m trying to prioritize this, could you share what kind of testing scenario requires uploading 100Mb+ files?
