Fixed the error triggered by the failing 'byte_stream_bytes_left(bs) >= len' check in byte_stream_getstr() when called from aim_parse_extstatus(). According to http://iserverd.khstu.ru/oscar/snac_01_21.html, we were parsing type 0x0002 packets slightly wrongly: they don't have neither flags nor length field; we were reading too much and that caused the assertion. Since we didn't use the data from this type of packets anyway, I just removed the parsing of them altogether.
