dissector for collectd's network plugin

Build Information:
Patch against wireshark-1.0.5
--
This patch adds support to Wireshark for dissecting UDP packets used by
collectd's network plugin in order to transmit data from ones host to another
host (e.g. centralized storage of statistics while data is collectd on
individual systems)

The current dissector understands the part types supported by collectd-4.5
series and gracefully processes future part types (flagging them as unknown).

In regard to protocol errors or bad packets checks are based on the various
length fields used, parts are marked with warning when length is unexpected;
marked with error when length breaks minimal rules.
