When creating this patch "CLEANUP: peers: Replace hard-coded values by macros",
we realized there was a remaining place in peer_prepare_updatemsg() where the maximum
of an encoded length harcoded value could be replaced by PEER_MSG_ENCODED_LENGTH_MAXLEN
macro. But in this case, the 1 harcoded value for the header length is wrong. Should
be 2 or PEER_MSG_HEADER_LEN. So, there is a missing byte to encode the length of
remaining data after the header.
Note that the bug was never encountered because even with a missing byte, we could
encode a maximum length which would be (1<<25) (32MB) according to the following
extract of the peers protocol documentation which were from far a never reached limit
I guess:
I) Encoded Integer and Bitfield.
0 <= X < 240 : 1 byte (7.875 bits) [ XXXX XXXX ]
240 <= X < 2288 : 2 bytes (11 bits) [ 1111 XXXX ] [ 0XXX XXXX ]
2288 <= X < 264432 : 3 bytes (18 bits) [ 1111 XXXX ] [ 1XXX XXXX ] [ 0XXX XXXX ]
264432 <= X < 33818864 : 4 bytes (25 bits) [ 1111 XXXX ] [ 1XXX XXXX ]*2 [ 0XXX XXXX ]
33818864 <= X < 4328786160 : 5 bytes (32 bits) [ 1111 XXXX ] [ 1XXX XXXX ]*3 [ 0XXX XXXX ]
