OCTET_STRING currently does not allow incremental filling, i.e., assigning one piece of data to it, and later another one using a subsequent call. Right now, users need to assemble data outside of asn1c and then provide the aggregated data in one piece to OCTET_STRING_fromBuf. To the least, this is non-convenient and error-prone.

The attached patch implements the desired functionality. To do so, the given OCTET_STRING's buffer is checked for prior allocation; if so, it will be re-allocated and the given data copied accordingly.

The patch has been in usage for me for quite a while.
