A common Lua idiom is to use chained calls, i.e. tree:foo():bar():choo(). This actually
works for tree:add() because it returns the new child tree item which is then the one
being applied to the next chained call. But it doesn't work beyond that for things like
set_generated() and so on. So this commit fixes that.
This also fixes the Lua tree:add() function for the FT_BOOL type to let it be a Lua boolean value.
And it reverts a previous change to Struct.tohex() to allow coercion of the argument.

This adds the ability for a Lua script to register expert info fields,
similar to C-code dissectors. This change also removes the need for
the expert_add_info_format_internal() function. Existing Lua scripts
do not have to change, because the existing expert info function
uses the internal "_ws.lua" protocol instead of nothing; but using
the new functionality provides more benefits since it correctly
registers the expert info fields to the dissector's protocol.
The test suite was amended to generate both old and new forms.

This enhances the Lua API doc generator Perl script to handle
meta-information in description comments, such as bold, italics,
raw code, version info, etc.
The supported markup and codes are documented in make-wsluarm.pl.
It's not beautiful Perl code (I don't know Perl), and I'd rather
do it using Lua, but I think keeping it Perl makes more sense in
the long run.

Over time the various wslua classes/functions have gotten moldy, with different
ways of doing similar things. Some of it can't be changed without breaking
backwards compatibility for Lua scripts, so I didn't do that. But I did what
I could. The biggest change is a refactoring of how accessors/attributes
are handled in the code, so that most of them work the same way using the
same code.
Specific changes made:
* Added null/expired checking macro to class declarations for many classes
* Removed extraneous pointer/expired checking, since checkFoo() does that already
* Fixed "errors" reported by clang static analyzer; they were false positives, but it was easier to get it to stop complaining by changing the code
* Moved internal wslua functions from wslua_utils.c into a new 'wslua_internals.c' file
* Changed Listener/NSTime/Pinfo/Proto to use a common setter/getter accessor/attribute code model, instead of each of them doing their own
* Fixed some API doc mistakes, mostly around attributes that were documented as read-only but were actually read-write

Similar to bug 9725 and ProtoField.new(), the way the VALUESTRING argument is being checked
in the code for ProtoField.bool() ends up making it non-optional. This patch fixes that,
along with some minor API documentation fixes (text).

usefulness, working around bug #9162 until Lua 5.3 is released.
The existing Int64 and UInt64 classes provide virtually no
usefullness, other than for creating a string of their value. While
one could then write Lua code to convert the string to Lua numbers and
such, ultimately Lua has no native 64-bit integer support, making such
a task difficult to handle in Lua. This change adds a host of
functions and operators to the existing Int64 (gint64) and UInt64
(guint64) classes, to enable true 64-bit integer support on par with
native Lua numbers.
A test script is also provided, which tests the functions/operators.

proto_tree_add_item() calls.
Add new "add_packet_field" method to the TreeItem class, taking a
protocol field (*not* a protocol), TvbRange, and encoding value as
arguments.
Add the ENC_ values to init.lua. Make them all hex #defines so
make-init-lua.pl can easily extract them.
Export tvb_unicode_strsize() for use by Lua (and elsewhere as desired).
Note that it handles UTF-16 and UTF-8, and fix the comment to note that
its count of hexadectets *does* include the null terminator (that's what
the code does).

WSLUA improvement.
The existing ProtoField.bool looks like the following:
ProtoField.bool(abbr, [name], [desc])
But checking any protocol dissector with bool protofield, it can be seen that
in C code we have more options than thru the WSLUA interface.
E.g.: {&hf_gtp_qos_sig_ind,{"Signalling Indication", "gtp.sig_ind", FT_BOOLEAN,
8, TFS(>p_sig_ind), GTP_EXT_QOS_SIG_IND_MASK, NULL, HFILL}},
So I've extended ProtoField.bool to have more options like this:
ProtoField.bool(abbr, [name], [bitfield], [true_false_string], [mask], [desc])

Fix for https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2453
The patch fixes the problem by extending the original "outstanding stuff"
approach.
Now the pointer itself won't be NULLified, instead we track the pointers with
their expiry state in structs in the outstanding_stuff list.
The Lua objects refers to those structs instead of the actual pointers and
checks the expiry state of the pointers before accessing them.
The pointers are marked expired when the dissection of the frame is finished
and the allocated struct is freed by Lua's garbage collector.
If the garbage collector hits the struct when it holds a not expired pointer,
it marks it as expired (that means we don't have any object in Lua referring to
the pointer) and the struct will be freed at the end of the dissection of the
frame.
this is for the 1.0 branch
