Instead of having the source file containing the top-level registration
routine for the pinfo_stats_tree plugin checked into our repository,
generate it with tools/make-plugin-reg.py, as we do with other plugins.
While we're at it, fix a comment - "DLL" is a Windows term; the
equivalent term in UN*Xes would be "shared object" ("so" or ".so") or
"dynamic library" ("dylib" or ".dylib").
With Ninja, the build is unnecessarily noisy:
[21/81] Generating plugin.c
Generated plugin.c for l16_mono.
[22/81] Generating plugin.c
Generated plugin.c for G711.
Avoid writing `Generated plugin.c for G711` and generate a single line
such as `Generating plugins/codecs/G711/plugin.c` instead.
Do not write the absolute path to plugin.c, this should hopefully help
with reproducible builds that are independent of the build directory.
PEP 394[1] says,
"In cases where the script is expected to be executed outside virtual
environments, developers will need to be aware of the following
discrepancies across platforms and installation methods:
* Older Linux distributions will provide a python command that refers
to Python 2, and will likely not provide a python2 command.
* Some newer Linux distributions will provide a python command that
refers to Python 3.
* Some Linux distributions will not provide a python command at all by
default, but will provide a python3 command by default."
Debian has forced the issue by choosing the third option[2]:
"NOTE: Debian testing (bullseye) has removed the "python" package and
the '/usr/bin/python' symlink due to the deprecation of Python 2."
Switch our shebang from "#!/usr/bin/env python" to "#!/usr/bin/env
python3" in some places. Remove some 2/3 version checks if we know we're
running under Python 3. Remove the "coding: utf-8" in a bunch of places
since that's the default in Python 3.

This codec plugin serves a dual purpose.
First it is to add L16 codec suppport to Wireshark.
Second it is an illustration of a basic codec plugin module.

Micro version bump for mate to homogenize it between CMake and autotools.
The cmake macro doesn't handle the "a" suffix and it doesn't seem worth
implementing.

Put different types of plugins (libwiretap, libwireshark) in different
subdirectories, give libwiretap and libwireshark init routines that
load the plugins, and have them scan the appropriate subdirectories
so that we don't even *try* to, for example, load libwireshark plugins
in programs that only use libwiretap.
Compiled plugins are stored in subfolders of the plugin folders, with
the subfolder name being the Wireshark minor version number (X.Y). There is
another hierarchical level for each Wireshark library (libwireshark, libwscodecs
and libwiretap).
The folder names are respectively plugins/X.Y/{epan,codecs,wiretap}.
Currently we only distribute "epan" (libwireshark) plugins.

The output compares equal to make-dissector-reg.py and the regex
should be more robust (multiline, complete start of function definition).
The primary motivation is to clean up the python script. This small
binary results in much cleaner code. The python script is used only
to generate plugin code, therefore it is renamed.
Also in my casual measurements the C code is much faster (without cache)
than the python script with the cache.
