STANAG 4607 dissector patch

New improved patch; this one adds:
-- explicit check for minimum segment size, THROW's if violated
-- explicit size check for fixed-length segments.  No THROW, but maybe there
should be!?
-- limits displayed tree size to 50K segments (I only ever see one segment per
packet; I can't imagine that there are other implementations that put more than
a few hundred in a packet, simply based on bandwidth and response-time
considerations.)

There are certainly many more self-consistency checks that could be made on the
data, but this becomes a big task.  I'm thinking that these length checks are
enough to handle all the loss-of-framing problems ... can't think of anything
else.
