The OSPF dissector does not decode grace-LSA TLVs.  The message "Unknown LSA
Type 3" is shown when it gets to the TLVs as shown here:

Open Shortest Path First
    OSPF Header
    LS Update Packet
        Number of LSAs: 1
        LS Type: Opaque LSA, Link-local scope
            LS Age: 0 seconds
            Options: 0x40 (O)
            Link-State Advertisement Type: Opaque LSA, Link-local scope (9)
            Link State ID Opaque Type: grace-LSA (3)
            Link State ID Opaque ID: 0
            Advertising Router: 192.0.0.2 (192.0.0.2)
            LS Sequence Number: 0x80000000
            LS Checksum: d41d
            Length: 44
            Unknown LSA Type 3


With this patch, the OSPF packet is decoded like this:

Open Shortest Path First
    OSPF Header
    LS Update Packet
        Number of LSAs: 1
        LS Type: Opaque LSA, Link-local scope
            LS Age: 0 seconds
            Do Not Age: False
            Options: 0x40 (O)
            Link-State Advertisement Type: Opaque LSA, Link-local scope (9)
            Link State ID Opaque Type: grace-LSA (3)
            Link State ID Opaque ID: 0
            Advertising Router: 192.0.0.2 (192.0.0.2)
            LS Sequence Number: 0x80000000
            LS Checksum: 0xd41d
            Length: 44
            Grace Period: 40 seconds
            Restart Reason: Unknown (0)
            Restart IP: 192.85.1.4 (192.85.1.4)


A capture file is attached that shows OSPF PDUs that use the grace-LSA.  Use
this diplay filter to find the relevant frames: (ospf.lsid_opaque_type == 3).

The patch also addresses the following issue in the OSPF dissector:
- Fix a checksum that was printed in hex, but did not prepend "0x"
