Rename transport parameter initial_max_paths to initial_max_path_id #376

Closed Yanmei-Liu closed 5 months ago

This PR try to solve the issue #324 and remove the outdated text.

As @martinthomson pointed out in PR #372, we don't have to use a count. This would help remove the ambiguity in the old draft version:

When endpoints negotiate a transport parameter value with N, but initial path(Path ID = 0) is also count into the number, the max available path id is actually N-1. It's weird and doesn't match the description of Max Path ID field inside MAX_PATH frame.

I'm convinced by people in issue #381 that we could allow the initial_max_path_id to be set to 0. Updated the PR. Thanks to @mirjak @marten-seemann and @huitema.
