multiqueue: prevent buffering forever with playbin

When prerolling/buffering, multiqueue has its buffers limit set
to 0, this means it can take an infinite amount of buffers.

When prerolling/buffering finishes, its limit is set back to 5, but
only if the current level is lower than 5. It should (almost) never be
and this will cause prerolling/buffering to need to wait to reach the
hard bytes and time limits, which are much higher.

This can lead to a very long startup time. This patch fixes this
by setting the single queues to the max(current, new_value) instead
of simply ignoring the new value and letting it as infinite(0)
