Wireshark fails to decode NetFlow options which have system scope size != 4
bytes, although no such size is specified in RFC 3954.

Wireshark fails with:

[Dissector bug, protocol CFLOW: proto.c:1299: failed assertion "length == 4"]
   [Expert Info (Error/Malformed): proto.c:1299: failed assertion "length ==
4"]
       [Message: proto.c:1299: failed assertion "length == 4"]
       [Severity level: Error]
       [Group: Malformed]

Since no particular size is specified in RFC3954, the dissector should respect
the size in the received template and should not assert.

The attachment shows netflow options data with 16-byte system ID as scope.
