The reassembled fragments tree in the Packet Details view is awesome, but it
lacks one thing: a field that exposes the reassembled data.
tcp.data already exists for exposing a single TCP segment's payload as a byte
array. It would be handy to have something similar for a single application
layer PDU when TCP segment reassembly is involved. I propose
tcp.reassembled.data, named and placed after the already existing field
tcp.reassembled.length.
My primary use case for this feature is outputting tcp.reassembled.data with
tshark for further processing with a script.
The attached patch implements this very feature. Because the reassembled
fragment tree code is general purpose, i.e. not specific to just TCP, any
dissector that relies upon it can add a similar field very cheaply. In that
vein I've also implemented ip.reassembled.data and ipv6.reassembled.data, which
expose reassembled fragment data as a single byte stream for IPv4 and IPv6,
respectively. All other protocols that use the reassembly code have been left
alone, other than inserting NULL into their initializer lists for the newly
introduced struct field reassemble.h:fragment_items.hf_reassembled_data.

Specifically: Replace FALSE|0 and TRUE|1 by ENC_BIG_ENDIAN|ENC_LITTLE_ENDIAN as
the encoding parameter for proto_tree_add_item() calls which directly reference
an item in hf[] which has a type of:
FT_BOOLEAN
FT_IPv4
FT_EUI64
FT_GUID
FT_UINT_STRING
Also: For type FT_ITv6 use ENC_NA. (This was missed in SVN #39260)

Define all internal fcns as static;
fragment_table_init() & reassembled_table_init() need to be
called form a registered_init fcn;
proto_register... and proto_reg_handoff should be at the end of the file as
per Wireshark convention;
proto_reg_handoff .... doesn't need 'if (initialized)...';
proto_register... doesn't need 'if (proto_mux27010 == -1)...'
