Buffer only a reasonable number of packets' worth of input data

This patch allows buffering of up to 1MB of input data (equal to 32 default
sized or 64 max sized SSH packets).

Setting the limit too low may reduce the effectiveness of compression on highly
compressible data, and setting it high may result in excessive memory usage. 
Compressing 1MB of zeros with "gzip -6" reduces to ~1kB so this seems a
reasonable compromise.
