perf: Fix u16 overflows
Vince reported that its possible to overflow the various size fields and get weird stuff if you stick too many events in a group. Put a lid on this by requiring the fixed record size not exceed 16k. This is still a fair amount of events (silly amount really) and leaves plenty room for callchains and stack dwarves while also avoiding overflowing the u16 variables.
