common/sphinx: don't use fixed lengths anywhere.

1. Remove the very concept of ONION_REPLY_SIZE, instead make it a
   local variable in create_onionreply().

2. Use the proper fromwire_ primitives in unwrap_onionreply() so we
   don't have to do explicit length checks.

3. Make fromwire_tal_arrn() return NULL if it fails to pull, instead of
   a zero-length allocation.

Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <[email protected]>
Changelog-Fixed: Protocol: we now correctly decrypt non-256-length onion errors (we always forwarded them fine, now we actually can parse them).
