We weren&#39;t very concrete in saying how endpoints generate packets with
CONNECTION_CLOSE, particularly those that throw away keys.  We have
a rather vague requirement.

In short, follow the same rules we established for the handshake.
Wording this as an aggregate number allows for stochastic reactions and
larger CONNECTION_CLOSE frames.  This way, if you get a 25-byte packet
and respond with a 200-byte packet, you can do that, but you have to
respond to 3 in 8 or fewer in that way.

Note that this limit only applies if the endpoint throws away decryption
keys.  Endpoints with keys aren&#39;t blind amplifiers.

Closes #3845.
