Subject: [Cbor] New wireshark API and dissector

All,
For anyone interested, a new COSE message dissector and a new CBOR decoding
API has been recently merged to the main branch of Wireshark [1]. For new
dissectors of protocols which use CBOR as their encoding, this "wscbor" API
gives a higher-level of abstraction (e.g. "text =
wscbor_require_tstr(...)") and robustness to both tags and errors in
structure and well-formedness.

Hopefully this will be helpful to other dissectors, since there are quite a
a few CBOR-based protocols in the works.

Thanks,
Brian S.
