Most of the time, the return value tells us nothing useful, as we've
already decided that we're perfectly willing to live with string
truncation. Hopefully this keeps Coverity from whining that those
routines could return an error code (NARRATOR: They don't) and thus that
we're ignoring the possibility of failure (as indicated, we've already
decided that we can live with string truncation, so truncation is *NOT*
a failure).
This emphasizes that there is no such thing as *the* routine to
construct a subset tvbuff; you need to choose one of
tvb_new_subset_remaining() (if you want a new tvbuff that contains
everything past a certain point in an existing tvbuff),
tvb_new_subset_length() (if you want a subset that contains everything
past a certain point, for some number of bytes, in an existing tvbuff),
and tvb_new_subset_length_caplen() (for all other cases).
Many of the calls to tvb_new_subset_length_caplen() should really be
calling one of the other routines; that's the next step. (This also
makes it easier to find the calls that need fixing.)

Done for performance improvements.
This could probably be done in checkAPIs.pl, but this was just
a quick manual check with grepping.
