/**
 * \ingroup packet
 * \brief Handle packet metadata about packet headers and trailers
 *
 * This class is used by the Packet class to record every operation
 * performed on the packet's buffer. This class also provides
 * an implementation of the Packet::Print methods which uses
 * the metadata to analyse the content of the packet's buffer.
 *
 * To achieve this, this class maintains a linked list of so-called
 * "items", each of which represents a header or a trailer, or 
 * payload, or a fragment of any of these. Each item contains a "next"
 * and a "prev" field which point to the next and previous entries
 * in the linked list. The PacketMetadata class maintains a pair
 * of pointers to the head and the tail of the linked list.
 *
 * Each entry in the list also maintains:
 *   - its native size (the size it had when it was first added
 *     to the packet)
 *   - its type: identifies what kind of header, what kind of trailer,
 *     if it is payload or not
 *   - the uid of the packet to which it was first added
 *   - the start and end of the area represented by a fragment
 *     if it is one.
 *
 * This linked list is flattened in a byte buffer stored in
 * struct PacketMetadata::Data. Each entry of the linked list is
 * identified by an offset which identifies the first byte of the
 * entry from the start of the data buffer. The size of this data
 * buffer is 2^16-1 bytes maximum which somewhat limits the number
 * of entries which can be stored in this linked list but it is
 * quite unlikely to hit this limit in practice.
 *
 * Each item of the linked list is a variable-sized byte buffer
 * made of a number of fields. Some of these fields are stored
 * as fixed-size 32 bit integers, others as fixed-size 16 bit 
 * integers, and some others as variable-size 32-bit integers.
 * The variable-size 32 bit integers are stored using the uleb128
 * encoding.
