fix: Cap untrusted manifests per message and drop oversized ones

Bound the number of manifests carried in a single TMManifests message
(kMaxManifestsPerMessage). Trusted manifests are always included and
processed; untrusted gossip is capped per message on both send and
receive, and the sender is charged only when untrusted entries are
actually skipped. Oversized TMManifests messages are dropped without
penalty at the protocol layer so an unpatched peer is not disconnected.

Complements the cache bound from #276/#323.

/** Maximum number of manifests carried in a single TMManifests message.
Outbound, the TMManifests message sent to a peer includes every trusted
manifest and fills the rest of this budget with untrusted gossip, so it
never exceeds this size. Inbound, trusted manifests are always processed
and untrusted ones are processed up to this many, so a peer sending its
whole cache cannot force unbounded work.
The trusted set is tiny relative to this bound, so trusted manifests are
not dropped in practice. This is a transitional per-message cap; the cache
already bounds untrusted manifests (see kMaxUntrustedCount), so it is no
longer needed once the network has upgraded past nodes that send their
whole cache in one message.
