Description

I am creating this issue because I am unable to reopen THRIFT-1191.

The Erlang thrift library throws an error when it attempts skip over an unknown field when decoding a message.

The issue is that the second argument of the `thrift_protocol:skip` function must be an atom, but the calls to the `skip` function in `skip_struct_loop`, skip_map_loop`, skip_set_loop`, and `skip_list_loop` do not convert the type of the received field header from the integer form to the atom form.
