- add support of session management for tcap ANSI.
(In fact, this support already exist for ANSI MAP subdissector, but as our
simulators can reuse the tcap transaction Id, the decoding of the response
may be wrong)
- move the code related to asn1 in tcap.cnf, and update tcap.cnf
- move the code related to the session management in tcap-persistentdata
- add a compilation option to free the entry in the hashtable for a closed
transaction. This is used only for tshark statistics generation, with huge file.
- cleanup and add some comments
Add Id tags to epan/tcap-persistentdata.{c,h}

Here are some patches and a new module to introduce the notion of Tcap context for a Tcap transaction. For each Tcap transaction, several parameters, like session identifier, start time or OID, will be saved in a hash table, to keep these informations available for the next messages. This context is then given to the upper layer, and can be used, for example, to generate transaction-associated statistics.
Moreover, the Upper protocol, detected in the Begin of the TCAP transaction ( according to the OID ), is saved in the context, and will be reused for the next messages of the transaction. This help the decoding of SS7 messages, without any SSN configuration in the "wireshark preferences".
You will have too, the possibility to apply a filter to see only the messages related to a TCAP transaction. (tcap.srt.session_id=XXX)
To enable the use of the Tcap context, you have 2 new parameters in the preferences,
- SRT, enable search for a Tcap context for any TCAP messages
- persistentSRT, keep the Tcap context, even after the transaction has been closed. This is mandatory with Wireshark, to have a clean display of the stats.
There is 2 new timers in the preferences for the statistics, to tune the retransmission timeout, and messages lost timeout.
