packet: Give explicit name to maximum packet size

Browse source 
We verify that every packet we store in a pool (and every partial packet
we retreive from it) has a length no longer than UINT16_MAX.  This
originated in the older packet pool implementation which stored packet
lengths in a uint16_t.  Now, that packets are represented by a struct
iovec with its size_t length, this check serves only as a sanity / security
check that we don't have some wildly out of range length due to a bug
elsewhere.

We have may reasons to (slightly) increase this limit in future, so in
preparation, give this quantity an explicit name - PACKET_MAX_LEN.
