Build Information:

--
The COPS dissector does not support request/response tracking because it
doesn't decode handle in COPS message. This patch added handle decoding and
request/response matching.

A few implementation details/tradeoffs:

- According to RFC 2748, the handle is "Variable-length field, no implied
format", however in real world implementations (include Juniper JUNOSe and
PacketCable Specification PKT-SP-MM-I06-110629) it's common to use 32bit uint
as handle. This patch uses the lowest 32bit of handle field.
- This patch assumes that there's no retransmit of request/response with same
handle, so it always try to match response with the first unanswered request
which has the same handle.
- There's one situation that one Synchronize State Req (SSQ) with handle unset
or set to 0, it will trigger a full synchronization, it's very likely that PDP
will response with multiple RPTs/DRQs. This patch doesn't handle such scenario
(yet).
