     *     capacity(), ie it is up to this method to ensure we don't run out of buffer space to decode the next message.
     *     
     * buff will end with its limit the same as it was previously, and its position set to the position up to which
     *     bytes have been read (the same as its return value)
     * buff must be at least the size of a Bitcoin header (incl magic bytes).
