Provide a wiretap routine to get an array of all savable file
type/subtypes, sorted with pcap and pcapng at the top, followed by the
other types, sorted either by the name or the description.
Use that routine to list options for the -F flag for various commands
Rename wtap_get_savable_file_types_subtypes() to
wtap_get_savable_file_types_subtypes_for_file(), to indicate that it
provides an array of all file type/subtypes in which a given file can be
saved. Have it sort all types, other than the default type/subtype and,
if there is one, the "other" type (both of which are put at the top), by
the name or the description.
Don't allow wtap_register_file_type_subtypes() to override any existing
registrations; have them always register a new type. In that routine,
if there are any emply slots in the table, due to an entry being
unregistered, use it rather than allocating a new slot.
Don't allow unregistration of built-in types.
Rename the "dump open table" to the "file type/subtype table", as it has
entries for all types/subtypes, even if we can't write them.
Initialize that table in a routine that pre-allocates the GArray before
filling it with built-in types/subtypes, so it doesn't keep getting
reallocated.
Get rid of wtap_num_file_types_subtypes - it's just a copy of the size
of the GArray.
Don't have wtap_file_type_subtype_description() crash if handed an
file type/subtype that isn't a valid array index - just return NULL, as
we do with wtap_file_type_subtype_name().
In wtap_name_to_file_type_subtype(), don't use WTAP_FILE_TYPE_SUBTYPE_
names for the backwards-compatibility names - map those names to the
current names, and then look them up. This reduces the number of
uses of hardwired WTAP_FILE_TYPE_SUBTYPE_ values.
Clean up the type of wtap_module_count - it has no need to be a gulong.
Have built-in wiretap file handlers register names to be used for their
file type/subtypes, rather than building the table in init.lua.
Add a new Lua C function get_wtap_filetypes() to construct the
wtap_filetypes table, based on the registered names, and use it in
init.lua.
Add a #define WSLUA_INTERNAL_FUNCTION to register functions intended
only for internal use in init.lua, so they can be made available from
Lua without being documented.
Get rid of WTAP_NUM_FILE_TYPES_SUBTYPES - most code has no need to use
it, as it can just request arrays of types, and the space of
type/subtype codes can be sparse due to registration in any case, so
code has to be careful using it.
wtap_get_num_file_types_subtypes() is no longer used, so remove it. It
returns the number of elements in the file type/subtype array, which is
not necessarily the name of known file type/subtypes, as there may have
been some deregistered types, and those types do *not* get removed from
the array, they just get cleared so that they're available for future
allocation (we don't want the indices of any registered types to changes
if another type is deregistered, as those indicates are the type/subtype
values, so we can't shrink the array).
Clean up white space and remove some comments that shouldn't have been
added.
Currently, only pcapng has one, and it does nothing, but this mechanism
will be used more in the future.
Update comments in epan/dissectors/CMakeLists.txt and ui/taps.h while
we're at it.
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.

Having these build tools in machine code poses problems when cross-compiling.
The most significant being that we need to find the host and build GLiB
dependencies at compile-time.
There is no noticeable speed difference between the Python and C implementation.
