THRIFT-4266: Erlang skip fix
The Erlang library has a bug that causes it to crash when attempting to
skip over a struct that it receives that does not exist in its thrift
definition. This will happen when the client and server are using different
versions of the thrift definition where one of the versions adds a struct field
to an existing struct.
This pull request has two commits. The first commit adds a test that fails
with the existing Erlang library. The second commit fixes the bug.
The bug was that the `erlang_protocol:skip` function expects an atom as its
second (Type) argument, but the calls in `skip_struct_loop`, `skip_map_loop`,
`skip_set_loop`, and `skip_list_loop` did not convert from the integer type
decoded from the buffer to the corresponding atom.
