autotools: Initial work to install headers for the benefit of plugins
Install public headers required to build plugins for libwireshark (taps and dissectors). The source tree is organized to serve the CLI/GUI parts of wireshark. Plugins are built in tree. This change is intende to allow plugins to be built out-of-tree but we want to avoid dumping all headers into /usr/include. To be continued incrementally to fix errors and omissions.

== What's New
+ * It's now possible to build plugins out-of-tree on Unix-like systems using
+ autotools (i.e. building Wireshark with autotools will install the necessary
+ dependencies). A pkg-config file is provided to help with this. Only epan plugins
+ supported for now, other types will be added in the future. Note you must still
+ rebuild all plugins between minor releases (X.Y).
