TvbRange:uint64() is supposed to return an unsigned 64 bit integer, but it
returns userdata (I included a testcase and some random packets . Open the lua
console then load the capture file attachment).

Lua file walkthrough part 1:
* Creates a foo protocol
* Adds a ProtoField 'fooField' uint64
* In the dissector function:
  - Creates a TvbRange length 8 bytes 'f'
  - Prints the type of the return value of f:uint64

=> 'userdata' this should be an integer

part 2:
*Calls tostring(f:uint6())

=> An signed integer.. ?

Could you check the TvbRange's uint64 method and solve this or post the
appropriate way to use this function if I'm doing it wrong.
