Fixed #42, make fetch size configurable

Was hard coded to 1024 bytes which meant that larger messages were
unconsumable since they would always get split causing the consumer to
stop.

It would probably be best to automatically retry truncated messages with
a larger request size so you don't have to know your max message size
ahead of time
