RFR 8044860: Vectors and fixed length fields should be verified for allowed sizes

I did check some of the other TLS RFCs, particularly 6066, 6961, 4492, 
5288 and a few others.  There are so many that I'm not 100% certain I 
caught them all, but not all apply to JSSE either.  In all the RFCs I 
looked at, those vectors had upper bounds that matched the maximum value 
for its length field.
