Replace MAX_BYTE_SIZE constant with setting

The MAX_BYTE_SIZE constant did not allow for customization, which
is necessary for cases where legitimate SAML responses are larger
than 250,000 bytes. This replaces the constant with a setting, which
has a default value of 250,000 bytes, but can be customized like
any other setting.

 Make sure to keep the value as comfortably small as possible to keep security risks to a minimum.
 
+## Deflation Limit
+
+To protect against decompression bombs (a form of DoS attack), SAML messages are limited to 250,000 bytes by default.
+Sometimes legitimate SAML messages will exceed this limit,
+for example due to custom claims like including groups a user is a member of.
+If you want to customize this limit, you need to provide a different setting.
+Example:
+
+```ruby
+def consume
+  response = OneLogin::RubySaml::Response.new(params[:SAMLResponse])
+  response.settings = saml_settings
+  ...
+end
+
+private
+
+def saml_settings
+  OneLogin::RubySaml::Settings.new(message_max_bytesize: 500000)
+end
+```

 ## Attribute Service
 
 To request attributes from the IdP the SP needs to provide an attribute service within it's metadata and reference the index in the assertion.
