The ideal behaviour (from a GSM protocol point of view) would be that if the
given length is too big for the fixed length type, proto_tree_new_item() would
handle the item normally from the beginning of the string, but print an
additional warning about unexpected data octets, it the given length is too
short, it should throw a malformed packet warning.
