Actually I think we should just use the SA expire mechanism
to do this.  The reason is that the overflow we want to detect
only applies to 32-bit sequence numbers.  In future we will be
making our sequence numbers 64-bit.

When we do that we can no longer just check against wrapping
to zero since we need to know whether ESNs are in use or not.

The easiest fix is to just force the hard_packet_limit to 2^32.
upon SA creation.

Cheers,
