If a dissector writer directly throws DissectorError, don't punish the
user by crashing due to a null pointer dereference, punish the dissector
writer by saying he or she didn't bother providing an explanation of the
error.
The exception message isn't a const string any more; make the
"exception_message" argument to "show_exception()" a "char *", not a
"const char *".
