/**
 * @deprecated Use coap_encode_var_safe() instead.
 * Provided for backward compatibility.  As @p value has a
 * maximum value of 0xffffffff, and buf is usually defined as an array, it
 * is unsafe to continue to use this variant if buf[] is less than buf[4].
 *
 * For example
 *  char buf[1],oops;
 *  ..
 *  coap_encode_var_bytes(buf, 0xfff);
 * would cause oops to get overwritten.  This error can only be found by code
 * inspection.
 *   coap_encode_var_safe(buf, sizeof(buf), 0xfff);
 * would catch this error at run-time and should be used instead.
