In using wireshark to dissect MPEG2 Transport Streams from various encoding
vendors, we ran across a number of packets that were being labeled as
"malformed" when indeed the transport stream structure was in tact.  I was able
to find and correct these problems.

The first problem stemmed from when an Adaptation Field did not consume the
entire packet (ie, mixed with normal payload) and there were 3 or less bytes of
payload.  This caused a broken IF compare which stopped dissecting the packet.

The second problem is with packets that have an Adaptation Field Length of 0. 
While uncommon, it is possible.  In a capture of 50,000 packets from one
encoding vendor, there were two of these such packets.  Per the spec
(referenced in the comment in the patch) this is legal, so I added logic to
handle this situation.
