+[x] 23. AudioInterval accepts invalid values
     File: gumble/gumble/config.go
     AudioFrameSize truncates arbitrary intervals to a count of 10 ms frames,
     while the ticker still uses the original interval. Validate and reject
     values other than 10/20/40/60 ms (and validate AudioDataBytes/Buffers).

+[x] 24. Legacy/custom varint has a MinInt64 recursion failure
     File: gumble/gumble/varint/write.go
     Encoding math.MinInt64 evaluates -value to the same negative number and
     recursively encodes forever until panic. Handle MinInt64 explicitly or
     encode negatives using an unsigned magnitude without overflow. Validate
     output buffer capacity in the exported encoder too.

     The comment says major uses bits 0-15, but SemanticVersion and ClientVersion
     use bits 16-31. Correct the documentation and add known version tests.
