Description

Just noticed we have the skinny protocol twice, since https://github.com/secdev/scapy/commit/b1da6edc6deffbee52eaa8dcf3b8270f27a34860 where phil 'added' skinny:

We should eventually work towards merging the two.. idk?

Compare the duplicated protocol implementations in scapy/contrib/skinny.py and scapy/layers/skinny.py, starting from the linked commit b1da6ed. Identify how the two definitions differ and determine the intended merged location and scope. Done means the Skinny protocol is represented once without losing existing functionality.
