Backport 2/2 commits from #71132 on behalf of @tbg.

Fixes #71805.

/cc @cockroachdb/release


In #71050, we saw evidence of very large (2.3+GiB) Raft messages being
sent on the stream, which overwhelmed both the sender and the receiver.
Raft messages are batched up before sending and so what must have
happened here is that a large number of reasonably-sized messages (up to
64MiB in this case due to the max_size setting) were merged into a giant
blob. As of this commit, we apply the max_size chunking on the batching
step before sending messages as well.

Closes #71050.

Release note: None


Release justification:

tbg added 2 commits October 5, 2021 13:05
Standard Go error - we were trying to avoid allocations by recycling a
slice but weren't zeroing it out before. The occasional long slice that
would reference a ton of memory would then effectively keep that large
amount of memory alive forever.

Touches #71050.

Thanks for opening a backport.

Please check the backport criteria before merging:

  • Patches should only be created for serious issues.
  • Patches should not break backwards-compatibility.
  • Patches should change as little code as possible.
  • Patches should not change on-disk formats or node communication protocols.
  • Patches should not add new functionality.
  • Patches must not add, edit, or otherwise modify cluster versions; or add version gates.
If some of the basic criteria cannot be satisfied, ensure that the exceptional criteria are satisfied within.
  • There is a high priority need for the functionality that cannot wait until the next release and is difficult to address in another way.
  • The new functionality is additive-only and only runs for clusters which have specifically “opted in” to it (e.g. by a cluster setting).
  • New code is protected by a conditional check that is trivial to verify and ensures that it only runs for opt-in clusters.
  • The PM and TL on the team that owns the changed code have signed off that the change obeys the above rules.

Add a brief release justification to the body of your PR to justify this backport.

Some other things to consider:

  • What did we do to ensure that a user that doesn’t know & care about this backport, has no idea that it happened?
  • Will this work in a cluster of mixed patch versions? Did we test that?
  • If a user upgrades a patch version, uses this feature, and then downgrades, what happens?
