Document precoditions on some HS parsing/writing functions

Eventually, all HS parsing/writing functions should take an arbitrary buffer +
length pair as their argument, and return MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL if
the provided buffer is too short. So far, we've only made a first step by
allowing to pass an arbitrary buffer, but don't yet add bounds checks
throughout. While deliberate for now, this must be clearly documented.
