		 *	1) the length of the item can only be determined
		 *	   by dissection (typically true of items with
		 *	   subitems, which are probably FT_NONE or

		 *

		 *	   what's available in the field (probably FT_BYTES
		 *	   or FT_STRING) and then throw an exception later
		 *
		 * or
		 *
		 *	3) the field is defined to be "what's left in the
		 *	   packet"
		 *
		 * so we set the length to what remains in the tvbuff so
		 * that, if we throw an exception while dissecting, it
		 * has what is probably the right value.
		 *
		 * For FT_STRINGZ, it means "the string is null-terminated,
		 * not null-padded; set the length to the actual length
		 * of the string", and if the tvbuff if short, we just
		 * throw an exception.
		 *
		 * For ENC_VARINT_PROTOBUF|ENC_VARINT_QUIC|ENC_VARIANT_ZIGZAG, it means "find the end of the string",
		 * and if the tvbuff if short, we just throw an exception.
		 *
		 * It's not valid for any other type of field.  For those
		 * fields, we treat -1 the same way we treat other
		 * negative values - we assume the length is a Really
		 * Big Positive Number, and throw a ReportedBoundsError
		 * exception, under the assumption that the Really Big
		 * Length would run past the end of the packet.
