Or, instead, we should have the PPP dissector export its dissector
table, and have the GTP dissector go through that dissector table
itself, and not do any octet shuffling at all.  This also lets us get
rid of the option to control whether to do octet shuffling.

I've checked in a change to do that.

(Another possibility would be to have the GTP dissector have its own
dissector table, and have only the configuration protocols for PPP
register in that table, so bogus protocol ID values don't cause us to
dissect "configuration options" as IP packets or something such as
that.)
