cobs.encode(buffer) => buffer
cobs.decode(buffer) => buffer
cobs.encodeStream()

cobs.maxLength(buffer or number) => number // upper bound
Results:
cobs.encode(new Buffer([0x00])) => 0x01 0x01
cobs.encode(new Buffer([0x11 0x22 0x00 0x33])) => 0x03 0x11 0x22 0x02 0x33
cobs.encode(new Buffer([0x11 0x00 0x00 0x00])) => 0x02 0x11 0x01 0x01 0x01
cobs.encode(new Buffer([0x01 0x02 ... 0xFF])) => 0xFF 0x01 0x02 ... 0xFE 0x02 0xFF
