* The Wireshark Lua API now uses the https://github.com/rrthomas/lrexlib[lrexlib] bindings to PCRE2.
Code using the Lua GRegex module will have to be updated to use lrexlib-pcre2 instead.
In most cases the API should be compatible and the conversion just requires a module name change.
* The tap registration system has been updated and the list of arguments for tap_packet_cb has
changed. All taps registered through register_tap_listener have to be updated.
