The SMPP dissector currently supports only version 3.4. The latest version of
the protocol is version 5.0 and it has been around for a while. However, the
usage of this version of the protocol is only now picking up. 

This patch adds basic support for SMPP 5.0. By basic I mean:
- New Operations and Responses.
- New TLVs.
- New Error codes.
- Any changes to earlier values. 

It would be nice to have more information about whether or not a particular TLV
is allowed only in version 3.4 or 5.0, but that would need support for
conversations/session tracking which is bit further down my list of TODOs.
Users have managed without it so far, and I suppose they could do without it a
bit longer. In any case, (as has been suggested many times) the patches should
be broken up to provide specific fixes/enhancements :-)

The attached patch has been tested and fuzz-tested. Unfortunately, I can't find
any client or server which supports the Cell Broadcast operations... so I have
just added them according to the specs, but have not had the chance to test
them.

The SMPP specifications used to be maintained by the SMS Forum
(http://www.smsforum.net). However, that organization shut-down at the end of
2007... so there is no central repository for the specs. However, a copy can be
found here:
