I don't want to force retirement to be in multiple phases in edge cases like this, but I think it's fine to limit RCID to max_connection_id_limit outstanding frames.  Later, when some RCID frames get acknowledged, check if there are more CIDs that need retiring.  The case when the limit is exceeded needs to be handled in some way, so I'd rather have that code hit very infrequently than basically never.

An alternative I'd be ok with is to use max_connection_id_limit*2 and if the limit is exceeded, close the connection.  I don't see a problem with that, as we have limits like that already in our code, and it's very simple.  But it's fairly different from what we've been discussing.
