This bit indicates that the PDU has 64-bit size and offset fields. CF currently does not support large file sizes. It needs to reject these packets as they will corrupt the data because they are not decoded properly (decode is fixed at 32 bit sizes).

Describe the contribution
This bit indicates that the PDU has 64-bit size and offset fields. CF currently does not support large file sizes. It needs to reject
these packets as they will corrupt the data because they are not decoded properly (decode is fixed at 32 bit sizes).
Fixes #95
Testing performed
Build and sanity check CF
Force sending PDU with bit set, confirm CF rejects the PDU.
Expected behavior changes
CF informs the user that it received a PDU that it does not understand.
System(s) tested on
Ubuntu 21.10
Additional context
CF does not and did not support this feature, the only difference here is that it CF will now properly detect and reject a received PDU with this bit set, and inform the user of that event, instead of attempting to ingest it and doing so wrongly (likely corrupting data in the process).
