Added a private hash table to transport string values between dissectors.

This works between C and Lua.

In C the pinfo.private_table pointer must be initialized using
g_hash_table_new (g_str_hash, g_str_equal);

In Lua the values are available using pinfo.private.<key>, and the
table is created automatically on first usage.  It's possible to use
this datatypes: nil, boolean, number and string, but every value
is converted to string so numbers must be converted using tonumber()
on usage.  Boolean is either nil or an empty string.
