This is primarily for constrained implementations.  Based on experience with
TLS, there can be real burden for those implementations just implementing an
AEAD correctly over large records.  This setting would allow an absurdly
constrained device some defense against peers who might otherwise send jumbo
packets.  After all, jumbo packets can be more efficient.

No real consensus for this yet, just a proof that it is possible.

Closes #383.
