Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
W3C Baggage (https://www.w3.org/TR/baggage/) section 3.2.2 specified baggage size limit:

"A platform MUST propagate all list-members including any list-members added by the platform if the resulting baggage-string would be 8192 bytes or less. If the resulting baggage-string would be greater than 8192 bytes, some list-members MAY be dropped until the resulting baggage-string is 8192 characters or less."

Describe the solution you'd like
Does the current Baggage implementation implemented this baggage limit requirement?

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating the Java SDK's Baggage implementation and propagation tests, then compare current behavior with section 3.2.2 of the W3C Baggage specification. Done means establishing whether the 8192-byte limit is implemented and, if not, defining and testing the required behavior.
