In the 1.4.x versions of Wireshark some changes have been made in epan/proto.c
wrt the 'display' field. This causes Wireshark to assert when using the ASN.1
dissector with a self-provided 'type table'.

  19:55:36          Err  Field 'asn1.FooMessage' (asn1.FooMessage) is an
FT_NONE but is being displayed as BASE_DEC instead of BASE_NONE

  Aborted (core dumped)

The cause for this assert is that plugins/asn1/packet-asn1.c was not yet
updated to work with the changes in proto.c

Attached is a simple '.tt' file, representing the syntax of dummy.asn1, that
triggers the assert.
To reproduce: under Edit->Preferences->Protocols->ASN1, set dummy.tt as the
'ASN.1 type table' file and 'FooMessage' as 'ASN.1 PDU Name'. Hit 'OK' and the
assert is triggered.
