I have prepared a patch which improves several aspects of GSM RLS/MAC
dissection.

Generic improvements to the csn.1 dissector include:
•    Added a flag to the type descriptor structure so that any type can
(potentially) flagged as xxx_OR_NULL.  This was specifically needed for
UINT_OR_NULL for the ms capabilities struct.
•    Corrected the octet calculation in app of the proto_tree_add_text() and
proto_item_set_len() calls.
•    Changed the CSN_SERIALIZE so that the length of the length field can be
specified.
•    For CSN_NEXT_EXIST removed the requirement that the next type be CSN_END,
to allow truncation of multiple IEs.
•    For CSN_LEFT_ALIGNED_VAR_BITMAP corrected the handling of bit_offset.
•    Added a new type CSN_PADDING_BITS to make inspection of padding bits more
convenient.
•    Improved the CSN_RECURSIVE_TARRAY_1 to show the array index.

Improvements to the gsm_rlcmac dissector include:
•    Comment out a couple of unused hf variables.
•    Rework the definition of EGPRS Ack/Nack Description so that the length IE
(and absence thereof) is handled correctly.  This is the original issue for
which the bug was raised.
•    Added Padding Bits definitions to all PDUs
•    Change the Multislot_capability_t and Content_t definitions to allow
truncation at any IE
•    Added proto_tree_add_protocol_format() calls so that the protocol can be
added to a display filter
•    Append Protocol to the PROTOCOL column and PDU type to the INFO column.
