Protobuf: add dissecting protobuf fields as wireshark fields preferences, etc.
Two enhancements and one fixed bug: 1. Add dissecting protobuf fields as wireshark (header) fields preferences. User can input the full names of protobuf fields or messages in Filter toolbar for searching. 2. Add 'protobuf_field' dissector table. Dissector based on protobuf can register itself to 'protobuf_field' keyed with the full names of fields of BYETS or STRING types. 3. A bug about search MESSAGE or ENUM type in context is fixed. 4. Another small enhancement is adding prefs_set_preference_effect_fields() which can mark a preference that affects fields change (triggering FieldsChanged event). See the linked bug for sample capture file and .proto files.
