/**
 * \defgroup fstrm_control fstrm_control
 *
 * `fstrm_control` is an interface for encoding and decoding Frame Streams
 * control frames.
 *
 * Two types of frames are possible in a Frame Streams byte stream: **data
 * frames** and **control frames**. Both are variable length byte sequences
 * prefixed by a 32-bit big endian unsigned integer (the **frame length**)
 * specifying the length of the following byte sequence. If this frame length
 * value is greater than zero, the **frame length** specifies the **data frame
 * length**, and a data frame follows it. If the frame length is zero (i.e., it
 * is the four byte sequence `00 00 00 00`), this is an **escape sequence**,
 * which means that a control frame follows. The control frame itself is
 * prefixed by a 32-bit big endian unsigned integer (the **control frame
 * length**) specifying the length of the following **control frame payload**.
 *
 * There are two types of control frames used for uni-directional streams:
 * `START` and `STOP`. These control frame types bracket the stream of data
 * frames. `START` indicates the beginning of the stream and communicates
 * metadata about the stream to follow, and `STOP` indicates the end of the
 * stream.
 *
 * Bi-directional streams make use of three additional control frame types:
 * `READY`, `ACCEPT`, and `FINISH`. These control frame types are used in a
 * simple handshake protocol between sender and receiver.
 *
 * A uni-directional Frame Streams byte stream normally consists of the
 * following:
 *
 * 1. The `START` control frame.
 * 2. A sequence of zero or more data frames or control frames that are not of
 *      the control frame types `START`, `STOP`, `ACCEPT`, `READY`, or
 *      `FINISH`.
 * 3. The `STOP` control frame.
 *
 * The `START` and `STOP` control frames are not optional. The `START` control
 * frame must appear at the beginning of the byte stream, and the `STOP` control
 * frame must appear at the end of the byte stream. (If the byte stream has an
 * end.) `START` control frames must not appear anywhere other than at the
 * beginning of the byte stream, and `STOP` control frames must not appear
 * anywhere other than at the end of the byte stream. Only one `START` control
 * frame and only one `STOP` control frame may appear in a Frame Streams byte
 * stream.
 *
 * Control frames may optionally include zero or more **control frame fields**.
 * There is currently one type of control frame field defined: `CONTENT_TYPE`.
 * This field specifies a variable length byte sequence describing the encoding
 * of data frames that appear in the Frame Streams byte stream. This field is
 * used by cooperating programs to unambiguously identify how to interpret the
 * data frames in a particular Frame Streams byte stream. For instance, this
 * field may specify a particular schema to use to interpret the data frames
 * appearing in the byte stream. Zero, one, or more `CONTENT_TYPE` fields may
 * appear in `READY` or `ACCEPT` control frames. Zero or one `CONTENT_TYPE`
 * fields may appear in `START` control frames. No `CONTENT_TYPE` fields may
 * appear in `STOP` or `FINISH` control frames.
 *
 * A uni-directional Frame Streams encoder would normally produce a byte stream
 * as follows:
 *
 * 1. Write the `START` **control frame**.
 *      + At the start of the byte stream, write the four byte **escape
 *      sequence** `00 00 00 00` that precedes control frames.
 *      + Write the **control frame length** as a 32-bit big endian unsigned
 *      integer.
 *      + Write the **control frame payload**. It must be a `START` control
 *      frame. It may optionally specify a `CONTENT_TYPE` field.
 * 2. Write zero or more **data frames**.
 * 3. Write the `STOP` **control frame**.
 *      + At the start of the byte stream, write the four byte **escape
 *      sequence** `00 00 00 00` that precedes control frames.
 *      + Write the **control frame length** as a 32-bit big endian unsigned
 *      integer.
 *      + Write the **control frame payload**. It must be a `STOP` control
 *      frame.
 *
 * A uni-directional Frame Streams decoder would normally process the byte
 * stream as follows:
 *
 * 1. Read the `START` control frame.
 *      + At the start of the byte stream, read the four byte **escape
 *      sequence** `00 00 00 00` that precedes control frames.
 *      + Read the 32-bit big endian unsigned integer specifying the **control
 *      frame length**.
 *      + Decode the **control frame payload**. It must be a `START` control
 *      frame. It may optionally specify a `CONTENT_TYPE` field.
 * 2. Repeatedly read data frames or control frames following the `START`
 * control frame.
 *      + Read the **frame length**, a 32-bit big endian unsigned integer.
 *      + If the **frame length** is zero, a control frame follows:
 *              + Read the 32-bit big endian unsigned integer specifying the
 *              **control frame length**.
 *              + Decode the **control frame payload**. If it is a `STOP`
 *              control frame, the end of the Frame Streams byte stream has
 *              occurred, and no frames follow. Break out of the decoding loop
 *              and halt processing. (`READY`, `ACCEPT`, `START`, and `FINISH`
 *              may not occur here. For forward compatibility, control frames of
 *              types other than the types `READY`, `ACCEPT`, `START`, `STOP`,
 *              and `FINISH` must be ignored here. No control frames specified
 *              in the future may alter the encoding of succeeding frames.)
 *      + If the **frame length** is non-zero, it specifies the number of bytes
 *      in the following **data frame**. Consume these bytes from the byte
 *      stream.
 *
 * The functions fstrm_control_encode() and fstrm_control_decode() are provided
 * to encode and decode control frames. See the detailed descriptions of those
 * functions for code examples showing their usage.
