MaxMind is discontinuing its legacy databases in April in favor of
GeoIP2, which use a newer database format (MaxMind DB). The reference C
library (libmaxminddb) is available under the Apache 2.0 license which
isn't quite compatible with ours.
Add mmdbresolve, a utility that reads IPv4 and IPv6 addresses on stdin
and prints resolved information on stdout. Place it under a liberal
license (MIT) so that we can keep libmaxminddb at arm's length. Add
epan/maxmind_db.[ch], which spawns mmdbresolve and communicates with it
via stdio.
Migrate the preferences and documentation to MaxMindDB.
Change the IPv4 and IPv6 asnum fields to FT_UINT32s. Change the
geographic coordinate fields to FT_DOUBLEs.
