Problem observed using SimPhonics V+ to generate DIS packet capture then
dissecting with wireshark running on various platforms: Windows 7, 8.1, 10, and
64-bit linux (Fedora).


----- description of problem:

IEEE 1278.1-2012 DIS spec details the PDU header timestamp in section 6.2.88 as
a 31-bit unsigned integer count of microseconds since the start of the current
interval (start of the hour UTC in the case of absolute timestamps for
example).  The wireshark DIS dissector instead calculates and presents only to
millisecond resolution and truncates the existing microsecond data in the
captured packets.

This bug report is primarily for documentation purposes and reference for
anyone else observing this.  A fix for this is already commited in change
#13210 https://code.wireshark.org/review/13210 .
