Why this should be merged
This is a continuation of our switch to
proto. All nodes in the network (after v1.10 activates) will ignore the most significant bit in the message length, so we can remove the explicit setting of it. We still need to ignore the most significant bit until everyone in the network no longer sets it (adopts this update) which will only be guaranteed after the following network upgrade (v1.11).How this works
Stops setting the MSB in the message length.
