Mathematically, this might be unbounded, but it's more likely that in practice the limit is `2*active_connection_id_limit` as it would be unlikely that unacknowledged RETIRE_CONNECTION_ID frames would remain so once more NEW_CONNECTION_ID frames start arriving.  More so as the issuer of those NEW_CONNECTION_ID frames has to have received the RETIRE_CONNECTION_ID frames.

Adding new frames for this seems a little unwieldy, so I'd prefer to just acknowledge that the problem exists.

Note also that Retire Prior To has the effect of making this limit squishy in other ways.

(This is a design issue.)
