Fix recognition of 5014 (INVALID_AVP_LENGTH) errors
Invalid lengths come in two flavours: ones that correctly point at the end of an AVP's payload but don't agree with its type, and ones that point elsewhere. The former are relatively harmless but the latter leave no way to recover AVP boundaries, which typically results in failure to decode subsequent AVP's in the message in question. In the case that AVP Length points past the end of the message, diameter incorrectly regarded the error as 5009, INVALID_AVP_BITS: not right since the error has nothing to do with AVP Flags. Ditto if the length was less than 8, a minimal header length. Only in the remaining case was the detected error 5014, INVALID_AVP_LENGTH. However, in this case it slavishly followed RFC 3588 in suggesting the undecodable AVP as Failed-AVP, thereby passing the woeful payload back to the sender to have equal difficulty decoding. Now follow RFC 6733 and suggest an AVP with a zero-filled payload.
