Introduce 2 new environment variables: WIRESHARK_EP_VERIFY_POINTERS and
WIRESHARK_SE_VERIFY_POINTERS that control whether or not we verify if a given
pointer is ep_ or se_ allocated, respectively.
Turn the behavior off by default for speed reasons (the speed difference isn't
huge, but...).
Turn the behavior on when fuzz testing.
Document these two new variables in the man pages.
