Preround scenario: malicious sends multiple preround msgs with different set causing the honest participant to store the union of all msgs

See comments on #3287 for network security.

However this will need further safeguards for accumulation of data in memory that either doesn't get put into a message or is spread over many incoming messages. See #1052 for an example of the latter.
