Increase network limits (#2796)

Fix max packet sizes

Fix max_payload_size function

Add merge block test

Fix max size calculation; fix up test

Clear comments

Add a payload_size_function

Use safe arith for payload calculation

Return an error if block too big in block production

Separate test to check if block is over limit
