Inspired by section 4 of this document, about the HPACK bomb.

HPACK can potentially use relatively little transmitted data to expand into a substantial amount of decompressed data. We should resist this attack by limiting the maximum size of the output header block to some reasonable (user-configurable) number, and defaulting it sensibly: probably to 16kB in the first instance.
