I think one of the limits should go away.

We don't have a user settable limit for the remote packet size, just
for the remote memory write size.  But it's more or less equivalent for
this purpose.  The question becomes whether we should have a single
high-level limit that works for all targets, or whether targets where
having a limit is sensible should provide their own.  I don't think it
makes enough difference to quibble about it, so let's remove
download-write-size.
