prop340: Tweaks, clarifications, open questions.

Nick Mathewson requested to merge nickm/torspec:340-tweak into main

This MR makes the following changes in proposal 340 (packed and fragmented messages):

  • Clarify RELAY_EARLY implications. (I think this reflects our current discussions, but please let me know if it doesn't.)
  • Add a network parameter to control the number of permitted RELAY_EARLY messages. (It turns out that we didn't have one.)
  • Note a problem with using this format with Conflux: we don't currently handle the possibility of a message (like RELAY_CONFLUX_SWITCH) being sent in the middle of fragments from other messages. I think we need to solve this, or we need to say that fragments of a single message can't be sent across multiple circuits.
