[PATCH] osmocom-bb[master]: fake_trx/data_dump.py: use 2 bytes to store message length

fake_trx/data_dump.py: use 2 bytes to store message length

One byte may store a value in range [0x00, 0xff]. The maximal 0xff
value is 255 in dec, so a message length is limited to 255 bytes.
This is enough for GSM bursts, but not for EDGE.

Since this change, two bytes of header are used to store the
pending message length. All captures created before are not
supported anymore...
