Is it any better to try generating the cookie, and only discard it if it
was too long, than to blindly skip the cookie?  Or are we pretty sure
that the cookie will always be longer than the old limit (256, if I'm
reading REMOTE_MIGRATE_COOKIE_MAX correctly in remote_protocol.x)?

If the latter, then ACK.
