Discovered while working on Pcap.Net (http://pcapdot.net).

This seems related to https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10043

In the attached pcap file, there's a single IPv6 packet with Mobility Options
extension header that includes a Mobility Header Link-Layer Address option.
Within that option, the Link-Layer address field is being parsed 2 bytes after
the Option-Code field is being parsed.
According to RFC 5568, section 6.4.3, it should be parsed 1 byte after the
Option-Code field.
This causes Wireshark to use one byte beyond the option data and causes
Wireshark to wrongly parse the rest of the packet, since it starts reading the
Mobility option one byte too late.
