206    - Revert the 2.22.1 lsquic_is_valid_hs_packet change.  All that was
207      necessary is a change to the way we call it in lsquic_engine.  No
208      change to the function itself is required.
209
2102020-10-08
211    - 2.22.1

265    - [BUGFIX] Close IETF mini conn immediately if crypto session
266      cannot be initialized.

362
3632020-07-06
364    - 2.18.0
365    - [API] Rename "0-RTT" to "session resumption." In IETF QUIC, "0-RTT"
366      always refers to early data, meaning a request that the server can
367      reply to in the very first return flight.  A more appropriate name
368      for what we support on the client site is "session resumption," which
369      is standard TLS terminology.  Later, when we add support for 0-RTT
370      (early data), we can use the 0-RTT terminology again, this time in
371      proper context.

710      methods to delay calling ignore_init() until the engine returns all
711      outgoing packets that were batched.
712    - [BUGFIX] set errno to EAGAIN if sendmmsg() can't send all of them.
713      This needs to be done because the value of errno may be lost on

848    - [SPEC] Use FINAL_SIZE_ERROR when FIN mismatch is detected.
849    - [OPTIMIZATION] Closed connection only gets one chance to send packets.
850    - [OPTIMIZATION] Flush headers stream before packetizing stream data.
851    - [OPTIMIZATION] process QPACK encoder STREAM frames immediately.
852    - Update ls-qpack to v0.10.1.
853
8542019-09-30
855    - 2.4.3
856    - Add GQUIC versions to the list of h3 ALPNs for Alt-Svc header.
857      For example, h3-Q043.  Chrome will switch to using this format at
858      some point in the future.
859    - [BUGFIX] Send correct value in max_streams_uni transport param
860    - [SPEC] Abort IETF QUIC connection if max_early_data_size is not set
861      to 0xFFFFFFFF
862
8632019-09-23
864    - 2.4.2
865    - [BUGFIX] H3 framing: fix zero-byte write when space is available
866    - [BUGFIX] Don't send STREAM frame when incoming unidirectgional stream
867      is closed
868    - [BUGFIX] Cancel all pending writes by stream reset by a GOAWAY
869    - [BUGFIX] Fix use-after-free in IETF full conn
870    - [OPTIMIZATION] Wait for session tickets for two seconds and then drop
871      SSL object and crypto streams.
872
8732019-09-18
874    - 2.4.0
875    - [FEATURE] QUIC and HTTP/3 Internet Draft 23 support
876
8772019-09-13
878    - 2.3.1

881
8822019-09-12
883    - 2.3.0
884    - [FEATURE] BBR congestion control is on by default
885    - [BUGFIX] BBR app-limited logic
886    - [BUGFIX] Fix uninitialized warnings in IETF
887    - [BUGFIX] Update ls-qpack to v0.9.14
888    - [CLEANUP] Code cleanup
889
8902019-09-11
891    - 2.2.0
892    - [FEATURE] Server code is included in the library
893    - [FEATURE] IETF QUIC and HTTP/3 Support (ID-22)
894
8952019-05-13
896    - 1.21.2
897    - [OPTIMIZATION] HPACK: use history to improve compression performance
898
8992019-05-06
900    - 1.21.1
901    - [BUGFIX] If FIN or RST not received, don't delay stream destruction.
902    - [OPTIMIZATION] Speed up HPACK encoder by using same hash value to
903      search static and dynamic tables.
904
9052019-04-12
906    - 1.21.0
907    - [FEATURE] Add qlog log module.
908
9092019-04-01
910    - 1.20.0
911    - [FEATURE] Add support for Q046.
912
9132019-03-19
914    - 1.19.6
915    - [BUGFIX] Ensure that Largest Observed does not decrease in ACKs we
916      send.  ACK frames placed in packets in buffered queues (optimization
917      introduced in 1.17.15) can be preceded by an ACK frame generated later.
918      In this case, the older ACK frame should not be sent out, as Chromium-
919      based servers flags decrease in the ACK frame's Largest Observed value
920      as an error.
921
9222019-03-05
923    - 1.19.5
924    - [BUGFIX] Use correct public key from PUBS based on KEXS index.
925    - [BUGFIX] Check flags before dispatching writes, avoiding assert.
926    - [BUGFIX] Set :scheme to "https" (instead of "HTTP").
927
9282019-02-25
929    - 1.19.4
930    - [BUGFIX] Check buffer bounds when looking up version in 0-RTT blob.
931    - [BUGFIX] http_client: don't fetch 0-rtt info if handshake failed.
932    - Log number of pacer calls at DEBUG, rather than NOTICE, level.
933
9342019-02-18
935    - 1.19.3
936    - [BUGFIX] Q044: don't encode packet number in 6 bytes.  Six-byte
937      packet number encoding does not exist in Q044.  This fixes a
938      regression introduced in '[BUGFIX] Buffered packets can contain
939      ACK frames' -- we need to keep QUIC version in mind when selecting
940      the longest possible packet number encoding used for the buffered
941      packet that carries the ACK.
942    - [BUGFIX] Do not increase CWND when timeout occurs.
943    - http_client: support setting handshake timeout on command line.
944      Use -o handshake_to=timeout.
945    - http_client: use -k to connect UDP socket to pick up ICMP errors.
946    - http_client: allow pathless mode, when only handshake is performed
947      without issuing any requests.  This can be done by simply not
948      specifying a -p flag on the command line.
949
9502019-02-11
951    - 1.19.2
952    - [BUGFIX] Begin negotiation with version provided in 0-RTT info.
953    - [BUGFIX] Version checking in zero_rtt deserialize function.
954
9552019-02-04
956    - 1.19.1
957    - [BUGFIX] Fix Windows build.
958
9592019-02-04
960    - 1.19.0
961    - [FEATURE, API Change] 0-RTT support.  Add function to export 0-RTT
962      information; it can be supplied to a subsequent connect() call.
963    - [FEATURE] Add -0 flag to http_client to exercise 0-RTT support.
964    - [BUGFIX] Resuscitate the Windows build.
965    - [BUGFIX] Send HTTP settings (max header list size) if necessary.
966    - [BUGFIX] Buffered packets can contain ACK frames.
967    - [BUGFIX] Make packet writeable once all STREAM frames are elided.
968    - [BUGFIX] Fix potential null dereference when realloc fails.
969    - cmake: simplify build configuration.
970
9712019-01-28
972    - 1.18.0
973    - [API Change] Can specify clock granularity in engine settings.
974    - [BUGFIX] Pacer uses fixed clock granularity.  Since the change on
975      2018-04-09, it is not necessary to try to approximate the next tick
976      time in the pacer: it can use fix clock granularity specified by
977      the user.
978    - [BUGFIX] Do not tick constantly before handshake is done.
979    - [BUGFIX] Do not exit tick prematurely: reuse packet with ACK.  Even
980      if we cannot allocate *more* packets, we could still be able to write
981      to one already allocated.
982    - [BUGFIX] Do not schedule pacer if there are no lost packets.
983
9842019-01-17
985    - 1.17.15
986    - [BUGFIX] http_client: make sure only one read per on_read() callback
987      is performed in the header conversion bypass (-B) mode.
988    - http_client: with -E, assign random priority when stream is created.
989    - [OPTIMIZATION] On immediate write, place an ACK frame into the first
990      buffered packet if an ACK is queued.  This reduces the number of
991      standalone ACK packets.
992    - [OPTIMIZATION] Allow placing more than one STREAM frame from the same
993      stream into an outgoing packet.  This change minimizes the number of
994      buffered packets required to store several small HTTP messages by
995      virtue of allowing more than one STREAM frame from HEADERS stream in
996      the same packet.
997    - [OPTIMIZATION] Flush headers when writing to buffered packets.  This
998      causes the headers to be written to the same buffered packet queue,
999      thereby improving packet utilization, especially for small HTTP
1000      messages.
1001
10022019-01-16
1003    - 1.17.14
1004    - [FEATURE] http_client can now collect stats: time to connect, TTFB,
1005      time to download, requests per seconds, and bandwidth.  See -t flag.
1006    - [BUGFIX] http_client: -B, -K, and -r can be used at the same time.
1007    - [BUGFIX] http_client: do not display cert chain before each request.
1008      Now this is only done once per connection, if the handshake is
1009      successful and -a option is given.
1010    - [BUGFIX] Do not wait to dispatch on_close() after reading.  If a
1011      stream is scheduled to be closed after on_read() callback returns,
1012      close it immediately instead of waiting until the end of the tick.
1013      If client creates new request from on_close() event, they will be
1014      processed in the same tick instead of waiting for the next one.
1015    - [BUGFIX] HEADERS stream is critical: always treat it with highest
1016      priority.
1017
10182019-01-10
1019    - 1.17.12
1020    - [FEATURE] http_client can now issue parallel requests in the context
1021      of a single connection.  See -w option.
1022
10232019-01-03
1024    - 1.17.11
1025    - Fix strict aliasing warning in optimized compilation.
1026
10272018-12-27
1028    - 1.17.10
1029    - Fix the example program to be able to use parallel connections
1030      again.  (See the -n argument.)
1031
10322018-12-18
1033    - 1.17.9
1034    - [BUGFIX] Engine: reduce minimum batch size from 256 to 4
1035
10362018-12-10
1037    - 1.17.8
1038    - [BUGFIX] Fix compilation on FreeBSD and 32-bit Linux
1039
10402018-12-03
1041    - 1.17.7
1042    - [BUGFIX] Do not unset PING alarm before ringing expired alarms.
1043      This prevented PING from ever being sent.
1044
10452018-11-29
1046    - 1.17.6
1047    - Add failsafe: resume sending packets after some time
1048
1049      The change puts a 1-second limit on the amount of time the engine
1050      will not send packets after some packets are delayed.  This makes
1051      the library robust in case the user does not unblock the engine
1052      explicitly using lsquic_engine_send_unsent_packets() call.
1053
1054    - [BUGFIX] Handle corner cases in send controller when packets are
1055      a) delayed or b) dropped during repackaging.
1056    - [BUGFIX] Memory leak: destroy buffered packets during controller
1057      cleanup.
1058
10592018-11-16
1060    - 1.17.3
1061    - [BUGFIX] Do not send STOP_WAITING frames when using Q044
1062
10632018-10-19
1064    - 1.17.2
1065    - [BUGFIX] Memory leak in test_frame_rw unit test.
1066    - [BUGFIX] Parsing packets with short IETF header: do not overwrite
1067      flags.  (Only a problem in unit tests -- benign otherwise.)
1068
10692018-10-16
1070    - 1.17.0
1071    - [API Change] Packet out Memory Interface (PMI) update:
1072      - Split PMI pool return into pmi_release and pmi_return
1073      - PMI callbacks take peer_ctx and is_ipv6 arguments
1074    - [BUGFIX] Fix use-after-free when certificate is updated
1075    - Silence gcc warning in optimized mode by performing useless
1076      initialization
1077    - cmake: use the standard variable CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE instead of
1078      DEVEL_MODE
1079
10802018-10-03
1081    - 1.16.0
1082    - [API Change] Add lsquic_conn_n_avail_streams()
1083    - [BUGFIX] only dispatch crypto stream read events if WANT_READ is on
1084
10852018-09-27
1086    - 1.15.0
1087    - [API Change] Add LSCONN_ST_PEER_GOING_AWAY to the list of conn statuses
1088    - [BUGFIX] free uncompressed headers correctly when error occurs
1089
10902018-09-12
1091    - 1.14.3
1092    - [BUGFIX] Do not abort conn on STREAM frame for a reset stream
1093    - [BUGFIX] Drop packets that would become empty due to repackaging.
1094      Packets on the scheduled queue may be marked for repackaging.
1095      Frames such as ACK frame that are never resent are removed from
1096      repackaged packets.  We must check that the newly repackaged packet
1097      would not be empty.  If it would be, it is destroyed instead and
1098      the next packet on the scheduled queue is used.  Note that this
1099      change only affects the logic to return the next packet to be sent.
1100      Lost packets that are being rescheduled are already processed in
1101      this fashion.
1102    - Byteswap CID before logging it - this makes it match Chrome CIDs.
1103      (Except Q035, which is the last little-endian GQUIC version we
1104      support.)
1105
11062018-09-06
1107    - 1.14.0
1108    - [API Change] Disable packet sending if full batch cannot be sent
1109      If lsquic_packets_out_f() cannot send the whole batch, disable
1110      packet sending until lsquic_engine_send_unsent_packets() is called.
1111    - [BUGFIX] Handle case when STREAM frame does not fit.
1112    - [BUGFIX] Always allow incoming STREAM frames to overlap.  Peers
1113      may send overlapping STREAM frames even if using versions older
1114      than Q043.
1115    - Custom header set fixes:
1116      - set "FIN reached" flag when custom header with FIN flag is
1117        claimed;
1118      - do not return custom header set for a reset stream.
1119
11202018-08-27
1121
1122    - 1.13.0
1123    - [FEATURE, API Change] Add ability to create custom header set
1124      objects via callbacks.  This avoids reading and re-parsing
1125      headers from the stream.
1126
11272018-08-27
1128
1129    - 1.12.4
1130    - Fix memory leak when engine is destroyed
1131    - Fix memory leak in http_client
1132    - Fix gcc warning in unit tests
1133
11342018-08-22
1135
1136    - 1.12.3
1137    - [BUGFIX] Fix duplicate STREAM frame detection
1138
11392018-08-20
1140
1141    - 1.12.2
1142    - [BUGFIX] Update count of scheduled bytes when adjusting size of
1143      an already-scheduled packet.
1144    - Emit info instead of warning messages when stream is used in
1145      unexpected ways.
1146
11472018-08-17
1148
1149    - 1.12.0
1150    - [FEATURE, API Change] Add support for certificate verification
1151
11522018-08-16
1153
1154    - 1.11.1
1155    - [BUGFIX] Fix STOP_WAITING frame processing in the new Q044 code
1156
11572018-08-15
1158
1159    - 1.11.0
1160    - [FEATURE] Add support for Q044.
1161
11622018-08-09
1163
1164    - 1.10.2
1165    - [BUGFIX] Don't go over limit when creating delayed streams
1166
11672018-07-10
1168
1169    - 1.10.1
1170    - [BUGFIX]  process connections after each batch of packets is read
1171      This avoids a problem of accumulating a very large list of packets
1172      (possible when speeds are high and socket's receive buffer is large)
1173      and processing it all at once.
1174    - If glibc is older than 2.17, link with rt.  This is necessary for
1175      clock_getres(2).
1176    - Add version macros to lsquic.h; remove unnecessary includes.
1177
11782018-06-13
1179
1180    - [BUGFIX] allow multiple parallel connections by default
1181
1182      Use the original method of tracking connections by CIDs by default.
1183      If zero-sized CID support is turned on, connections are tracked by
1184      the address.  A new connection is not created if another connection
1185      is using the same network address
1186
11872018-05-30
1188
1189    - [FEATURE, API CHANGE] Support zero-sized CIDs in received packets
1190
11912018-05-24
1192
1193    - Close connection properly when packet encryption fails
1194
11952018-05-23
1196
1197    - [BUGFIX] Do not produce packet sequence gaps due to delayed packets
1198
11992018-05-21
1200
1201    - [API Change] Add optional callback to call when handshake is done
1202    - [API Change, BUGFIX] After send failure, wait until transport available
1203
12042018-05-18
1205
1206    - [API] Expose useful lsquic_ver2str[] in lsquic.h
1207    - [BUGFIX] Do not produce packet sequence gaps due to STREAM frame elision
1208    - Improve checks of number of incoming streams limit and associated
1209      error reporting.
1210    - [BUGFIX] Command-line option `-6` now works correctly.
1211
12122018-05-16
1213
1214    - [FEATURE] DNS resolution
1215    - [BUGFIX] Frame insertion mis-ID as overlap instead of dup
1216    - http_client: fix priority range generated by -E flag
1217
12182018-05-09
1219
1220    - [FEATURE] Add support for Q043.
1221    - Support for versions Q037, Q038, Q041, and Q042 has been removed.
1222    - Fix typo in debug message.
1223    - Fix code indentation.
1224    - Add /* fallthru */ comment to stop newer gcc from complaining.
1225    - Logger: fix compilation of optimized Windows build.
1226
12272018-05-04
1228
1229    - [FEATURE] Add support for Q042.
1230    - Remove comment: MSPC is obsolete (no code changes)
1231    - Prog: use lsquic_str2ver() when processing -o version flag
1232    - Remove unused CTIM and SRBF transport parameters
1233    - Disable QUIC versions Q037 and Q038 by default
1234    - Fix Windows compilation by including compat header file in
1235      lshpack.c
1236    - Address warnings produced by newer versions of gcc
1237    - Future-proof: turn off -Werror
1238
12392018-05-02
1240
1241    - [BUGFIX] Make lsquic_conn_quic_version() available
1242    - Switch to using ls-hpack 1.1
1243    - [BUGFIX] Do not ignore stream resets after receiving FIN
1244
12452018-04-27
1246
1247    - HPACK: do not allow header block to end with table size update.
1248
12492018-04-25
1250
1251    - [BUGFIX] Do not create gap in sent packnos when squeezing delayed
1252      packets.
1253    - [BUGFIX] sendctl checks for all unacked bytes, not just retx bytes.
1254    - [BUGFIX] connections with blocked scheduled packets are not tickable
1255      for sending.
1256    - [BUGFIX] Conn is tickable if it wants to send a connection-level
1257      frame.
1258
12592018-04-23
1260
1261    - Fix busy loop: tickable must make progress.  When connection is
1262      self-reporting as tickable, it must make progress when ticked.  There
1263      are two issues:
1264        1. If there are buffered packets, the connection is only tickable if
1265           they can be sent out.
1266        2. A connection is tickable if there are streams on the servicing
1267           queue.  When the tick occurs, we must service the stream
1268           independent of whether any packets are sent.
1269    - Fix assertion in pacer which can be incorrect under some
1270      conditions.
1271    - cmake: do not turn on address sanitizer if in Travis.
1272
12732018-04-20
1274
1275    - [BUGFIX] Fix bug in lsquic_engine_connect() exposed by yesterday's
1276      changes.
1277
12782018-04-19
1279
1280    - [BUGFIX] Add connection to Tickable Queue on stream write

1290    [API Change, OPTIMIZATION] Only process conns that need to be processed
1291
1292    The API is simplified: do not expose the user code to several
1293    queues.  A "connection queue" is now an internal concept.
1294    The user processes connections using the single function
1295    lsquic_engine_process_conns().  When this function is called,
1296    only those connections are processed that need to be processed.
1297    A connection needs to be processed when:
1298
1299        1. New incoming packets have been fed to the connection.
1300        2. User wants to read from a stream that is readable.
1301        3. User wants to write to a stream that is writeable.
1302        4. There are buffered packets that can be sent out.  (This
1303           means that the user wrote to a stream outside of the
1304           lsquic library callback.)
1305        5. A control frame (such as BLOCKED) needs to be sent out.
1306        6. A stream needs to be serviced or delayed stream needs to
1307           be created.
1308        7. An alarm rings.
1309        8. Pacer timer expires.
1310
1311    To achieve this, the library places the connections into two
1312    priority queues (min heaps):
1313
1314        1. Tickable Queue; and
1315        2. Advisory Tick Time queue (ATTQ).
1316
1317    Each time lsquic_engine_process_conns() is called, the Tickable
1318    Queue is emptied.  After the connections have been ticked, they are
1319    queried again: if a connection is not being closed, it is placed
1320    either in the Tickable Queue if it is ready to be ticked again or
1321    it is placed in the Advisory Tick Time Queue.  It is assumed that
1322    a connection always has at least one timer set (the idle alarm).
1323
1324    The connections in the Tickable Queue are arranged in the least
1325    recently ticked order.  This lets connections that have been quiet
1326    longer to get their packets scheduled first.
1327
1328    This change means that the library no longer needs to be ticked
1329    periodically.  The user code can query the library when is the
1330    next tick event and schedule it exactly.  When connections are
1331    processed, only the tickable connections are processed, not *all*
1332    the connections.  When there are no tick events, it means that no
1333    timer event is necessary -- only the file descriptor READ event
1334    is active.
1335
1336    The following are improvements and simplifications that have
1337    been triggered:
1338
1339        - Queue of connections with incoming packets is gone.
1340        - "Pending Read/Write Events" Queue is gone (along with its
1341          history and progress checks).  This queue has become the
1342          Tickable Queue.
1343        - The connection hash no longer needs to track the connection
1344          insertion order.

1353
1354    - [OPTIMIZATION] Merge series of ACKs if possible
1355
1356      Parsed single-range ACK frames (that is the majority of frames) are
1357      saved in the connection and their processing is deferred until the
1358      connection is ticked.  If several ACKs come in a series between
1359      adjacent ticks, we check whether the latest ACK is a strict superset
1360      of the saved ACK.  If it is, the older ACK is not processed.
1361
1362      If ACK frames can be merged, they are merged and only one of them is
1363      either processed or saved.
1364
1365    - [OPTIMIZATION] Speed up ACK verification by simplifying send history.
1366
1367      Never generate a gap in the sent packet number sequence.  This reduces
1368      the send history to a single number instead of potentially a series of
1369      packet ranges and thereby speeds up ACK verification.
1370
1371      By default, detecting a gap in the send history is not fatal: only a
1372      single warning is generated per connection.  The connection can continue
1373      to operate even if the ACK verification code is not able to detect some
1374      inconsistencies.
1375
1376    - [OPTIMIZATION] Rearrange the lsquic_send_ctl struct
1377
1378      The first part of struct lsquic_send_ctl now consists of members that
1379      are used in lsquic_send_ctl_got_ack() (in the absense of packet loss,
1380      which is the normal case).  To speed up reads and writes, we no longer
1381      try to save space by using 8- and 16-bit integers.  Use regular integer
1382      width for everything.
1383
1384    - [OPTIMIZATION] Cache size of sent packet.
1385
1386    - [OPTIMIZATION] Keep track of the largest ACKed in packet_out
1387
1388      Instead of parsing our own ACK frames when packet has been acked,
1389      use the value saved in the packet_out structure when the ACK frame
1390      was generated.
1391
1392    - [OPTIMIZATION] Take RTT sampling conditional out of ACK loop
1393
1394    - [OPTIMIZATION] ACK processing: only call clock_gettime() if needed
1395
1396    - [OPTIMIZATION] Several code-level optimizations to ACK processing.

1443
14442017-10-31
1445
1446    - [API Change] Sendfile-like functionality is gone.  The stream no
1447      longer opens files and deals with file descriptors.  (Among other
1448      things, this makes the code more portable.)  Three writing functions
1449      are provided:
1450
1451        lsquic_stream_write
1452        lsquic_stream_writev
1453        lsquic_stream_writef    (NEW)
1454
1455      lsquic_stream_writef() is given an abstract reader that has function
1456      pointers for size() and read() functions which the user can implement.
1457      This is the most flexible way.  lsquic_stream_write() and
1458      lsquic_stream_writev() are now both implemented as wrappers around
1459      lsquic_stream_writef().
1460
1461    - [OPTIMIZATION] When writing to stream, be it within or without the
1462      on_write() callback, place data directly into packet buffer,
1463      bypassing auxiliary data structures.  This reduces amount of memory
1464      required, for the amount of data that can be written is limited
1465      by the congestion window.
1466
1467      To support writes outside the on_write() callback, we keep N
1468      outgoing packet buffers per connection which can be written to
1469      by any stream.  One half of these are reserved for the highest
1470      priority stream(s), the other half for all other streams.  This way,
1471      low-priority streams cannot write instead of high-priority streams
1472      and, on the other hand, low-priority streams get a chance to send
1473      their packets out.
1474
1475      The algorithm is as follows:
1476
1477      - When user writes to stream outside of the callback:
1478        - If this is the highest priority stream, place it onto the
1479          reserved N/2 queue or fail.
1480            (The actual size of this queue is dynamic -- MAX(N/2, CWND) --
1481             rather than N/2, allowing high-priority streams to write as
1482             much as can be sent.)
1483        - If the stream is not the highest priority, try to place the
1484          data onto the reserved N/2 queue or fail.
1485      - When tick occurs *and* more packets can be scheduled:
1486        - Transfer packets from the high N/2 queue to the scheduled
1487          queue.
1488        - If more scheduling is allowed:
1489          - Call on_write callbacks for highest-priority streams,
1490            placing resulting packets directly onto the scheduled queue.
1491        - If more scheduling is allowed:
1492          - Transfer packets from the low N/2 queue to the scheduled
1493            queue.
1494        - If more scheduling is allowed:
1495          - Call on_write callbacks for non-highest-priority streams,
1496            placing resulting packets directly onto the scheduled queue
1497
1498      The number N is currently 20, but it could be varied based on
1499      resource usage.
1500
1501    - If stream is created due to incoming headers, make headers readable
1502      from on_new.
1503
1504    - Outgoing packets are no longer marked non-writeable to prevent placing
1505      more than one STREAM frame from the same stream into a single packet.
1506      This property is maintained via code flow and an explicit check.
1507      Packets for stream data are allocated using a special function.
1508
1509    - STREAM frame elision is cheaper, as we only perform it if a reset
1510      stream has outgoing packets referencing it.
1511
1512    - lsquic_packet_out_t is smaller, as stream_rec elements are now
1513      inside a union.
