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.

Put plugins in CMake build dir with a version subdir. This avoids some
weird special cases, however running with autotools from build dir
displays the wrong global folder in about->folders. Unfortunately
the hack to run from the autotools build dir is troublesome.
Various fixes for Windows builds.
Try to fix also build dir issue loading plugins on macOS with
ENABLE_APPLICATION_BUNDLE (blind).

This is intended to replace the NSIS installer for Windows.
It does not include installing WinPcap or USBPcap. From the research I've done, it seems to make more sense to "bundle" them with Wix ("wrapper" installer that would include Wireshark, WinPcap and USBPcap installers together)
TODO:
1. Customize installer with Wireshark graphics
2. Better handling flexibility of installing VC CRT Merge module (need build script to provide appropriate macros). Something like (or modifying existing) FindMSVC_REDIST.cmake.
3. Use Wireshark UpgradeProductCode for install/uninstall. Previous NSIS installer did not have an upgrade code, so there are some backwards compatibility concerns.
4. Uninstall considerations (removing whole directories - plugins, configuration profiles?). NSIS needed to do more things "manually" than Wix does by default. Need to merge as best as possible to handle backwards compatibility.
Many thanks to Brian Pratt for all the Wix help.
