Well, actually, it might be possible to compress everything except
ClientHello headers. One should still avoid the 15 and 16 values (and
presumably also 17) if one does.

E.g.:

For ClientHello: 16 03 vv xx xx
For ServerHello: 3F+xx xx
For Alert on *Hello: 3E xx  (Alerts are short)
For encrypted message: 80|xx xx


(If one wanted to get fancy, one could even try to negotiate this via
vv byte (a'la: "record version: TLS 1.3").
