make-dissectors-reg: optimize by factoring out the loops
Instead of calling the grep/sed pipelines for each file, build the
list of files in the beginning and call each pipeline only once,
passing the list to the first grep.
This results in a massive speedup in Cygwin; in my test, the time
it takes to run make-dissector-reg . dissectors packet-*.c in dissectors/epan
is reduced from ~116 to ~3 seconds. I also tried it on NetBSD, where
the time do to the same goes from ~6 to ~0.5 seconds.
Amend makefile comments to elide mentions of invoking multiple processes
per file.
