The rpc header size can vary.  If you reject any CREATE_SESSION attempts
with maxreq_sz smaller than

	largest possible rpc header + SEQUENCE

then you risk rejecting some legitimate CREATE_SESSIONs.

But if you allow maxreq_sz's less than that, then it becomes possible
for a client to send a single-SEQUENCE compound that still exceeds
maxreq_sz.

So let's not try to safe every broken client from itself.  Instead,
let's keep things simple, catch those client errors that are easy to
catch, and that we know are errors, and don't worry about the rest.
