The maximum icon which we used before you fix is 32pixel's icon(yes it 
is a large icon), and 128 is a size of this icon on 4k monitor( The 
windows can return a 128pixel's icon on 4k monitor) The EXTRA_LARGE and 
JAMBO was not used in our code.

Does it really scale for any size?
For example if I request the icon for some pdf,java,txt files of size 
100 then:
   - On HiDPI screen I get the native icon of size 64.
   - On LowDPI screen I get the native icon of size 32.
In both cases the user will get MRI, which will scale the native icon.
