Minor: Use tvb_reported_length... not tvb_length...
After having made many a comment (on new dissectors) about using the
wrong function, I start to wonder:
Should we rename tvb_length() to, say, tvb_captured_length() and
tvb_reported_length() to tvb_length()?
Looking at it from the point of the TVB API it doesn't make much sense,
but since [it appears that] many dissector writers tend to not think of
snapshot lengths when dealing with TVBs, it might be the best way to
prevent this problem going forward.
