A DISSECTOR_ASSERT() is triggered in proto.c's proto_tree_add_unicode_string()
when a utf8 string generated by packet-json.c's json_string_unescape()
has processed an escaped UTF-16 surrogate character pair.
JSON (RFC 4627) [1] allows arbitrary plane 0 Unicode characters to be encoded
using _javascript_ style six-character "\uXXXX" sequences where XXXX is a
four-hexadecimal value that represents the UTF-16 value for a Unicode
character.
Characters from Unicode planes 1-16 are represented by UTF-16 surrogate
character pairs. The UTF-16 surrogate character pairs are encoded as
twelve-character sequences i.e. "\uXXXX\uXXXX".
json_string_unescape() currently fails to determine if a decoded "\uXXXX"
sequence represents a Unicode surrogate character pair. When the first
surrogate character is encountered it must be combined with following surrogate
character to produce the final unicode character.
