Summary: make slipdec reassemble arbitrary packages

Initial Comment:
current slipdec doesn't work if the SLIP encoded package is not presented as a single list
(which kind of defeats the idea of SLIP, which is to paketize a _stream_ of data)

with the attached patch, [slipdec] is able to decode a stream even if it was [1, 192 2, 3 4, 5 192, 6, 192(

before applying and committing the patch, please have a close look at it.
for now, i just disabled the "valid" output (because it doesn't make so much sense anyhow, a SLIP stream is almost always valid)
i know think that the flag could indicate whether there is still data waiting in the queue (and is updated after each message received)
