The implementation of CSN.1 codec was taken from Wireshark, where
it's implemented in pure C. For some reason it was mixed with C++
specific features, mostly using references in parameter
declaration. Not sure what are the benefits.

(as they are part of the RlcMacUplink_t structure that is also used to call csnStreamDissector function).
Port from wireshark.git commit 9f8b638cfa8a660fb64c54dcadb83e6747db0a15.

Currently code using that function in osmo-pcu is disabled, allegadly
because SGSN was sending incorrect values, but it looks more like a CSN1
issue.

Having explicit include above the douible-include guard defines is
potential source for hard to track bugs. Let's move it inside the guard
statement.

The presence of the LENGTH field adds an additional offset which
breaks the related M_SERIALIZE in gsm_rlcmac.cpp. In that case,
the Desc in EGPRS_AckNack_t is being cast to EGPRS_AckNack_w_len_t
and then ((EGPRS_AckNack_w_len_t *)Desc)->Desc is filled with the
parsed data, which is a platform dependant number of bytes apart the
real Desc struct.
Remove LENGTH field from EGPRS_AckNack_w_len_t so that the Desc field
is the first field.
Note that this is not a real fix. The rlcmac wireshark dissector
still has the same declaration but doesn't seem to suffer from this
problem.

Generic improvements to the csn.1 dissector include:
• Added a flag to the type descriptor structure so that any type can (potentially) flagged as xxx_OR_NULL. This was specifically needed for UINT_OR_NULL for the ms capabilities struct.
• Changed the CSN_SERIALIZE so that the length of the length field can be specified.
• For CSN_NEXT_EXIST removed the requirement that the next type be CSN_END, to allow truncation of multiple IEs.
• For CSN_LEFT_ALIGNED_VAR_BITMAP corrected the handling of bit_offset.
• Added a new type CSN_PADDING_BITS to make inspection of padding bits more convenient.
• Improved the CSN_RECURSIVE_TARRAY_1 to show the array index.
Improvements to the gsm_rlcmac dissector include:
• Rework the definition of EGPRS Ack/Nack Description so that the length IE (and absence thereof) is handled correctly.
• Added Padding Bits definitions to all PDUs
• Change the Multislot_capability_t and Content_t definitions to allow truncation at any IE
