    rsl: Fix treatment of SACCH FILL / SACCH INFO MODIFY
    
    The RSL SACCH INFO MODIFY / RSL SACCH FILL messages contain a
    SI5 / SI6 / SI5bis / SI5ter message.  Those SI are (like the SI on CCCH)
    sent as UI frame in downlink direction.  Since Phase 2, the "L2
    pseudo-length field is part of the L3 message, and not stripped /
    interpreted at L2.
    
    3GPP TS 44.006 states that a special B4 frame format is used on the
    SACCH downlink for UI frames, which is basically a normal B frame, but
    with no length field at L2, shifting the length field into L3 where it
    becomes the L2 pseudo-length.
    
    From RSL, we need to call a variant of the RR dissector that is able to
    decode a L3 message that includes a L2 pseudo-length.  This is,
    paradoxically, not the "gsm_a_sacch" dissector, as that one is only used
    for B-frames, i.e. actual LAPDm ABM frames.  We must use the "gsm_a_ccch"
    dissector.
