[PATCH v2 0/3] pkt-line: war on magical `4` literal

There are many instances of the literal `4` in packet line-related code. This series replaces these instances with either functions that can generate the number or an appropriately-named constant.

Changes since v1:
* Introduce patch 1-2 so that the string length is used to generate the
  `4` where appropriate
Denton Liu (3):
  remote-curl: use strlen() instead of magic numbers
  pkt-line: use string versions of functions
  pkt-line: extract out PACKET_HEADER_SIZE
