Is there any reason why an encoding for the payload length wasn't chosen that would allow something like setting it to zero mean "QUIC packet extends to end of UDP packet"?

That would make it more straightforward to encode non-coalesced long-header packets, where the payload length may not be known by the time the packet header is being encoded.

I think it is discussed in #1301.
