Description

This is typically used for string arguments for commands that may be inconsistently-sized.

An example would be a command that exists to echo a string sent in uplink down as an evr - a "we are here" type command, or a command that executes an arbitrary FSW function.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the existing packet and uplink implementations, then determine how variable-size packets represent string arguments and how they are encoded and decoded. Done means an uplink packet implementation supports inconsistently sized payloads, including the example command cases described in the issue.
