asn2rws.py patch to display SEQUENCE/TYPE OF field name

With the current version of asn2wrs.py, when we encounter a SEQUENCE OF or a
SET OF parameter in ASN.1 description, this will to this generated code:
{ &hf_rrc_DynamicPersistenceLevelList_item,
{ "Item", "rrc.DynamicPersistenceLevelList_item",
FT_UINT32, BASE_DEC, NULL, 0,
"rrc.DynamicPersistenceLevel", HFILL }},
All those type of parameters are displayed as "Item" when performing the
dissection.
This lead to this kind of meaningless decoding:
SysInfoType7
modeSpecificInfo: fdd (0)
fdd
ul-Interference: -100
prach-Information-SIB5-List: 1 item
Item 0
Item: 2
prach-Information-SIB6-List: 1 item
Item 0
Item: 2
With the attached patch, the code generated looks like this:
{ &hf_rrc_DynamicPersistenceLevelList_item,
{ "DynamicPersistenceLevelList", "rrc.DynamicPersistenceLevelList_item",
FT_UINT32, BASE_DEC, NULL, 0,
"rrc.DynamicPersistenceLevel", HFILL }},
And the decoding is much nicer:
SysInfoType7
modeSpecificInfo: fdd (0)
fdd
ul-Interference: -100
prach-Information-SIB5-List: 1 item
Item 0
DynamicPersistenceLevelList: 2
prach-Information-SIB6-List: 1 item
Item 0
DynamicPersistenceLevelList: 2
