@marten-seemann See #1473.

IIRC the rationale for using *minimal* varint encoding is that stacks that support only the standardized frames can live with a simpler dispatch scheme that takes *one byte* as an input (i.e. the dispatch method being a table or a switch clause).

While I do not have a strong opinion regarding that requirement, I'd prefer not revisiting the discussion.
