 === Protocol decodes ===
-trace_get_''something''_from_''something''() functions used to take a pointer that was set to the number of bytes skipped by this protocol.  This has been changed to be the number of bytes remaining in the packet.  This variable is either set to NULL if you know you have enough space.  If it's not NULL it's the number of captured bytes remaining in the packet from the input pointer, and will be updated to be the number of bytes remaining after the header was skipped.
