Otherwise, if you link with both libwiretap and libfiletap, it's
anybody's guess which one you get. That means you're wasting memory
with two copies of its routines if they're identical, and means
surprising behavior if they're not (which showed up when I was debugging
a double-free crash - fixing libwiretap's buffer_free() didn't fix the
problem, because Wireshark happened to be calling libfiletap' unfixed
buffer_free()).
There's nothing *tap-specific about Buffers, anyway, so it really
belongs in wsutil.

Add a "record type" field to "struct wtap_pkthdr"; currently, it can be
REC_TYPE_PACKET, for a record containing a packet, or
REC_TYPE_FILE_TYPE_SPECIFIC, for records containing file-type-specific
data.
Modify code that reads packets to be able to handle non-packet records,
even if that just means ignoring them.
Rename some routines to indicate that they handle more than just
packets.
We don't yet have any libwiretap code that supplies records other than
REC_TYPE_PACKET or that supporting writing records other than
REC_TYPE_PACKET, or any code to support plugins for handling
REC_TYPE_FILE_TYPE_SPECIFIC records; this is just the first step for bug
8590.

This reverts commit c0c480d08c.
A better way to do this is to have the record type be part of struct wtap_pkthdr; that keeps the metadata for the record together and requires fewer API changes. That is in-progress.

This is the first step towards implementing the mechanisms requestd in
bug 8590; currently, we don't return any records other than packet
records from libwiretap, and just ignore non-packet records in the rest
of Wireshark, but this at least gets the ball rolling.

Start of refactoring Wiretap and breaking structures down into "generally useful fields for dissection" and "capture specific". Since this in intended as a "base" for Wiretap and Filetap, the "wft" prefix is used for "common" functionality.
The "architectural" changes can be found in cfile.h, wtap.h, wtap-int.h and (new file) wftap-int.h. Most of the other (painstaking) changes were really just the result of compiling those new architecture changes.

Add support for dissection ELF files. It opens as a "capture" file via wiretap
at the moment for simplicity's sake, but the intention is eventually to have
this (and other file types we dissect) open through some other program sharing
much of the libwireshark infrastructure.

as the "where to put the packet data" argument.
This lets more of the libwiretap code be common between the read and
seek-read code paths, and also allows for more flexibility in the "fill
in the data" path - we can expand the buffer as needed in both cases.

wtap_file_read_expected_bytes() from an open routine - open routines are
supposed to return -1 on error, 0 if the file doesn't appear to be a
file of the specified type, or 1 if the file does appear to be a file of
the specified type, but those macros will cause the caller to return
FALSE on errors (so that, even if there's an I/O error, it reports "the
file isn't a file of the specified type" rather than "we got an error
trying to read the file").
When doing reads in an open routine before we've concluded that the file
is probably of the right type, return 0, rather than -1, if we get
WTAP_ERR_SHORT_READ - if we don't have enough data to check whether a
file is of a given type, we should keep trying other types, not give up.
For reads done *after* we've concluded the file is probably of the right
type, if a read doesn't return the number of bytes we asked for, but
returns an error of 0, return WTAP_ERR_SHORT_READ - the file is
apparently cut short.
For NetMon and NetXRay/Windows Sniffer files, use a #define for the
magic number size, and use that for both magic numbers.

which could use lseek() and were thus expensive due to system call
overhead. To avoid making a system call for every packet on a
sequential read, we maintained a data_offset field in the wtap structure
for sequential reads.
It's now a routine that just returns information from the FILE_T data
structure, so it's cheap. Use it, rather than maintaining the data_offset
field.
Readers for some file formats need to maintain file offset themselves;
have them do so in their private data structures.

by Wiretap, to indicate whether certain fields in that structure
actually have data in them.
Use the "time stamp present" flag to omit showing time stamp information
for packets (and "packets") that don't have time stamps; don't bother
working very hard to "fake" a time stamp for data files.
Use the "interface ID present" flag to omit the interface ID for packets
that don't have an interface ID.
We don't use the "captured length, separate from packet length, present"
flag to omit the captured length; that flag might be present but equal
to the packet length, and if you want to know if a packet was cut short
by a snapshot length, comparing the values would be the way to do that.
More work is needed to have wiretap/pcapng.c properly report the flags,
e.g. reporting no time stamp being present for a Simple Packet Block.
