Fix handling of AVP length errors (5014) in unknown AVPs
Commit 4ce2d3a6 added the insertion of a single bit into binary AVP data to induce an encode error in the case of a header length that pointed past the available bytes: a 5014 = DIAMETER_INVALID_AVP_LENGTH error. Commit 838856b fixed this for stringish Diameter types, but both commits neglected the case in which the offending AVP isn't known to the dictionary in question. Unless the AVP was regarded as erroneous for other reasons (eg. an M-bit resulting in 5001) it would be happily be packed into an 'AVP' field. If it was regarded as an error, the record could be passed back to diameter_codec:pack_avp/1, and if the record contained header data then there was no clause to deal with the unpleasantry. Deal with it by having the dictionary module strip the extra bit and flag the AVP as 5014, and by having diameter_codec handle any extra bit coming from an dictionary compiled against an old diameter_gen. An old dictionary won't detect 5014 however, so dictionaries should be recompiled. Change most of the guards in diameter_codec from is_bitstring/1 to is_binary/1. What's being passed to the decode functions are binaries received other the network. The only case in which a non-binary bitstring is when we've placed an extra bit there ourselves. (Modulo someone doing something they shouldn't.)
