`PROTOCTL BIGLINES` is set. This will allow us to do things more efficiently and possibly raise some other limits in the future. This 16k is the size of the complete line, including sender, message tags, content and \r\n. Also, in server-to-server traffic we now allow 30 parameters (MAXPARA*2). The original input size limits for non-servers remain the same: the complete line can be 4k+512, with the non-mtag portion limit set at 512 bytes (including \r\n), and MAXPARA is still 15 as well. * I chose 16k because I don't want to first raise it to like 8k and then realize later that 16k would be better and raise it again. * To receive BIGLINES in a command, you need to `CommandAdd()` with flags `CMD_BIGLINES`, without it you still get regular 512 max. This is so, because a lot of the code does not expect longer than 512 bytes lines or in parameters, so we can gradually change that (where needed).
