Subject: [PATCH] Don't assert out on receiving too-large control packets
 (CVE-2017-7478)

Commit 358f513c changed the maximum size of accepted control channel
packets.  This was needed for crypto negotiation (which is needed for a
nice transition to a new default cipher), but exposed a DoS
vulnerability.  The vulnerability was found during the OpenVPN 2.4 code
audit by Quarkslab (commisioned by OSTIF).

To fix the issue, we should not ASSERT() on external input (in this case
the received packet size), but instead gracefully error out and drop the
invalid packet.
