 * Name: BER_LengthOfLength
 *
 * Description:
 * This function computes the number of octets needed to represent 
 * a little-endian, unsigned binary integer in a BER/DER length field.
 *
 * Parameters: 
 * Length (input) - The length as a little-endian, unsigned binary integer.
 *
 * Returns: 
 * The minimum number of octets required to represent the length 
 * in BER/DER encoding.
 *
 * Error Codes:
 * None.
