Title: Uploading files bigger than 2GB does not work 

According to James Roper, this seems to be a bug in Netty which is already fixed in Netty 3.6.1:
https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/845

Please see this mailing list thread for a detailed description of the error that occurs when trying to upload files bigger than 2GB:
https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=de&fromgroups=#!topic/play-framework/bNNxZyoobwU

To reproduce this issue, I put a simple Play 2.1 file upload application on Github:
https://github.com/heiflo/play21-file-upload-streaming
Just upload a 2GB (or bigger) file and the upload will fail.
