docs: Update phrase on message lengths in the protocol The reasoning for why all the message formats are parseable without the explicit message length field is anachronistic; the real reason is that protocol version 2 did not have a message length field. There's nothing wrong with relying on the message length, like we do in the CopyData messags, even though it often still makes sense to have length fields for individual parts in messages.
