Both csnStreamDecoder() and csnStreamEncoder() shall not return 0
prematurely if no more bits left in the input / output bit-vector.
Returning CSN_ERROR_NEED_MORE_BITS_TO_UNPACK might make more sense,
however we don't know in advance (i.e. without entering the loop)
whether it's an error or not. Some CSN.1 definitions have names
like 'M_*_OR_NULL', what basically means that they're optional
and can be ignored or omitted.
Most of the case statements do check whether the number of remaining
bits is enough to unpack / pack a value, so let's leave it up to
the current CSN_* handler (pointed by pDescr) if no bits left.
Return CSN_ERROR_NEED_MORE_BITS_TO_UNPACK only if the number of
remaining bits is negative as this is an error in any case.

This commit breaks transcoding of the test vectors containing
the MS RA Capability IE due to the reasons explained in [1].
The more fields we add, the longer gets the output of the CSN.1
encoder. This is not critical, since we never need to encode
messages containing the MS RA Capability IE on practice.

This change fixes a bug that was reported by Keith Whyte and
confirmed in [1]. The problem is that a user-defined handler
in case of CSN_SERIALIZE may parse only a part of the given
bit-stream, leaving some bits unhandled. This is expected
because the sender (i.e. the MS) may use more recent RLC/MAC
message definitions containing new fields at the end.
Those bits that were left unhandled by serialize() shall not be
interpreted as continuation of the message, they shall be skipped.
Note that the encoded vector in the RLCMAC unit test still does
not match the original one. That's a known bug explained in [2].

This test vector (from HTC Desire 628) demonstrates a bug in the
CSN.1 decoder. For some reason, OsmoPCU fails to decode it:
DCSN1 ERROR csnStreamDecoder: error NEED_MORE BITS TO UNPACK (-5)
at EGPRS_TimeslotLinkQualityMeasurements (idx 164)
while Wireshark dissects it without any errors.

The main idea of this change is to demonstrate a weakness of the
CSN.1 codec that most likely causes a unit test breakage in [1].
The problem seems to be that the transitional structures, where
the CSN.1 decoder stores the results, do not contain any details
about presence of the optional fields (such as M_UINT_OR_NULL).
In other words, it's impossible to know whether some optional
field is omitted in the encoded message (NULL), or is it just
set to 0. This means that the encoder will always include all
optional fields, even if they're not present in the original
message.

Long story short: as it turns out the test vector '12a5146200'O
has been generated by TITAN, and it's malformed. The length
indicator it contains must be at least 29 bits, not 21. This
field is calculated by TITAN automatically, so I guess there
is a bug somewhere in its RAW encoder implementation.
It's funny that Wireshark decodes the old malformed vector without
any problems if it's encapsulated into the BSSGP DL-UNITDATA. The
reason for that is because BSSGP dissector does not actually use
the CSN.1 codec and relies on its own hand-written parser [1],
which does not respect the length constraints.
Furthermore, table 10.5.146/3GPP TS 24.008, describing the format
of MS Radio Access Capability IE, has the following comment:
< Multislot capability struct > ::=
{ 0 | 1 < HSCSD multislot class : bit (5) > }
...
-- error: struct too short, assume features do not exist
so ideally our CSN.1 decoder should be more tolerant to the old
malformed vector, but unfortunately error handling is not implemented.

This would allow us to catch more bugs. Note that I had to remove
printing of pointer address to make the output deterministic.

Current stderr output is empty anyway, and not checking it allows
enavling different log levels to easily debug issues.
