Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] [PATCH] cond_one_of return too fast.

Hi,

I hit a bug while writting JSON dissector.

If one codition of tvbparse_set_oneof() is tvbparse_string with some big string,
and when we are dissecting end of the packet where it's no space for this condition
(offset + length_of_this_string > end_offset), cond_one_of returns -1 instead of checking
other possibilities.

It could be workarounded by sorting set_oneof() conditions from smallest one to biggest,
but attaching proper fix :)

Regards.
