Hmm, the problem I see with this is that if a snaplen is set such that the
packet is truncated, it won't be recognized as dtls using these heuristics.  I
think it's better to have the dissector dissect as much as possible rather than
reject the entire packet due to truncation.  Perhaps another check for
tvb_length() vs. tvb_reported_length() and if the former is less than the
latter, then we know the packet was truncated, so as long as the packet looks
OK up until that point, then just accept it, even if it was truncated?
