Add a very small hack to make the UAT update callback error string freeable, and
convert all existing UAT update callbacks to use glib memory instead of ephemeral memory for that string. UAT code paths are entirely distinct from packet dissection, so using ephemeral memory was the wrong choice, because there was no guarantees about when it would be freed. The move away from emem still needs to be propogated deeper into the UAT code itself at some point. Net effect: remove another bunch of emem calls from dissectors, where replacing with wmem would have caused assertions. svn path=/trunk/; revision=52854
