plugins/rp-pppoe: Make tag parsing loop condition more accurate

The loop in parsePacket() that parses the tags in a received PPPoE
packet uses a loop condition that checks if there is at least one
more byte to be read; however, the tag header is 4 bytes.  Thus it
could read 3 bytes past the end of the received data.  However,
there is no possibility of reading past the end of the
packet->payload array, since we previously checked that
len <= ETH_JUMBO_LEN (which is sizeof(packet->payload)) - 6.
Also, the tag length check will always fail (except for a tag
type of TAG_END_OF_LIST, which terminates processing).

This fixes the loop condition to require at least 4 bytes
remaining, so that we know that the tag header is within the
received data.
