Add transport_opt() length_errors

The value determines whether or not an unexpected message length in the
header of an incoming messages causes the peer process to exit, the
message to be discarded or handled as usual. The latter may only be
appropriate for message-oriented transport (eg. SCTP) since
stream-oriented transport (eg. TCP) may not be able to recover the
message boundary once a length error has occurred.
