[tls] Do not access beyond the end of a 24-bit integer

The current implementation handles big-endian 24-bit integers (which
occur in several TLS record types) by treating them as big-endian
32-bit integers which are shifted by 8 bits.  This can result in
"Invalid read" errors when running under valgrind, if the 24-bit field
happens to be exactly at the end of an I/O buffer.

Fix by ensuring that we touch only the three bytes which comprise the
24-bit integer.
