a422865 by Guy Harris (gharris@xxxxxxxxx):

    Only do trailing stray character checks on FT_STRING fields.
    
    FT_STRINGZ means "terminated by a null character", so there can't be
    non-null characters following the terminating null.
    
    FT_STRINGZPAD doesn't only mean "padded with nulls"; there are protocols
    where a string that's not the full length of the part of the packet for
    the string has a null terminator but isn't guaranteed to be fully padded
    with nulls.  We can later add a separate type for fields where we really
    *should* check that the padding is all nulls.
