Since cbd3c447 ("ftypes: Add FT_UINT_STRING to IS_FT_STRING() macro")
proto_tree_add_string() accepts FT_UINT_STRING, but the API check still
fails. Update the API check to reflect that change.
When checking is_dissector_file(), only match against files that
end in ".c" and not, e.g. ".c.swp" ".c~" or other such temporary
files that might be binary files (as with vim .swp files).
Prevents errors like "UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode
byte 0xe4 in position 18: invalid continuation byte" with Python 3
when a dissector file is open in vim.
Repeated words were found with:
egrep "(\b[a-zA-Z]+) +\1\b" . -Ir
and then manually reviewed.
Non-displayed strings (e.g., in comments)
were also corrected, to ease future review.
Current errors are:

This is a new check added to check_typed_item_calls.py --label
Ignoring cases where item type is FT_NONE, as fpr tjpse
text was appended that otherwise would lack a colon.
For CI, will now return error codes only for those issues
that are definitely bugs that will require fixing. i.e.
- if the type is not compatible with the call
- if a TFS is (case-sensitively) identical to a tfs.c entrywq
Python only creates the default argument once and reuses it for
further invocations. Instead, of mutating the default list,
set the default argument to be None and then create a
list, if needed. For more info, see
