please calculate the length of BGP-4 BGP packets automatically #44

The length of BGP objects is not automatically calculated (the 'len' field'). 
Please calculate the length automatically when encoding a BGP object.

As a workaround, I have to calculate the length manually this way:

msg = ...
msg_with_headers = dpkt.bgp.BGP(len=dpkt.bgp.BGP.__hdr_len__ + len(msg),
                                type=msg_type)
msg_with_headers.data = msg
