Clean up ftype-conversion and dfilter error message string handling.
Have dfilter_compile() take an additional gchar ** argument, pointing to a gchar * item that, on error, gets set to point to a g_malloc()ed error string. That removes one bit of global state from the display filter parser, and doesn't impose a fixed limit on the error message strings. Have fvalue_from_string() and fvalue_from_unparsed() take a gchar ** argument, pointer to a gchar * item, rather than an error-reporting function, and set the gchar * item to point to a g_malloc()ed error string on an error. Allow either gchar ** argument to be null; if the argument is null, no error message is allocated or provided.
