Add new plugin type for libwireshark
Allow epan itself to be extended by plugins. Adds the following new plugin
interfaces:
void plugin_epan_init()
void plugin_epan_dissect_init(epan_dissect_t *)
void plugin_epan_dissect_cleanup(epan_dissect_t *)
void plugin_epan_cleanup()
void plugin_epan_register_all_protocols(register_cb, gointer) [OPTIONAL]
void plugin_epan_register_all_handoffs(register_cb, gointer) [OPTIONAL]
Any one of these can be an empty function but the first four must be
present.
The motivation for the change is a better way to implement a language binding
other than registering a fake protocol and stuffing everything into a single
dissector call (and maybe require an extra packet_info field) but I expect
there would be other interesting use cases.
