The current code fails to decode properly the last bits of a BIT STRING type.

Let's take for example this LTE RRC DL DCCH message dump: 20 06 02 68 3a 10 0a
48 32 03 27 80 00 00 00 01 82 90 16 08 08 30 f0 33 43 ab 0b bb 2b 48 1b 1b 7b
68 32 6a 72 19 81 81 88 32 6a 1a 19 a1 b1 80 22 3a 82 92 98 28 0e a8 60 c8 12
f0 27 f7 f4 f4 f2 80 5f b3 27 80 04 00 00 08 00 00 1f 83 20 08 03 53 81 1f 99
c0 32 76 03 ea 05 d1 d4 1c 23 c8 88 40 17 c3 80 20 0e 51 35 af d0 00 06 c0

It decodes as:

The field n2TxAntenna-tm4 (6 bits) is decoded as 110000.
But by decoding the message manually, we can see that the n2TxAntenna-tm4
corresponds to the 4 LSB of byte 0xAF and the 2 MSB of byte 0xD0.
So it should be decoded as 111111.

Following a code review, we can see that the function
new_octet_aligned_subset_bits is buggy:
- the variable remainderval is first used to get the number of MSB needed for
the last byte (line 223).
- then it is reused to check the buffer length (line 236).
- finally, it is used in line 268 as if it contained the number of MSB needed
for the last byte.

The attached patch fixes the bug and gets the correct decoding for the
n2TxAntenna-tm4 field.
