The Wireshark dissection seems to stop at the depth of ATT protocol. To add
support for any further dissectors, the basic GATT dissection support needs to
be added.

The advantage of this would be that any further profile dissections (e.g. Heart
rate sensor, HID over GATT etc) require information gathered by dissecting
GATT. Also information from service discovery (which is carried out over GATT
protocol) is the basis for further dissection of any higher layer protocols.

To give a more specific example a capture shows the ATT Protocol "Read by Type
Response" correctly, but the Attribute value reported was not decoded. In order
to decode it properly the "Read by Type Request" for which this response
corresponds to need to be remembered as that request contains the GATT UUID of
the handle, which defines the encoding of the response received.
