New feature: extract specified diameter AVPs from large capture files 

Reason for new feature:
extraction of specified diameter AVPs from large capture files is nearly
imossible in current version:
- extraction using -T text, -T pdml options is extremely slow
- extraction using -T field and -z proto,colinfo are very limited for
diameter-AVP

Description:
New option is -z diameter,avp[list of diameter fields].

* This TAP enables extraction of most important diameter fields in text format.
* - much more performance than -T text and -T pdml
* - more powerfull than -T field and -z proto,colinfo
* - exacltly one text line per diameter message
* - multiple diameter messages in one frame supported
*   E.g. one device watchdog answer and two credit control answers
*        in one TCP packet produces 3 text lines.
* - several fields with same name within one diameter message supported
*   E.g. Multiple AVP(444) Subscription-Id-Data once with IMSI once with MSISDN
* - several grouped AVPs supported
*   E.g. Zero or more Multiple-Services-Credit-Control AVPs(456)


Usage examples:
tshark -r diameter.cap  -z diameter,avp
tshark -r diameter.cap  -z
diameter,avp,CC-Request-Number,Rating-Group,Result-Code
