Put different types of plugins (libwiretap, libwireshark) in different
subdirectories, give libwiretap and libwireshark init routines that
load the plugins, and have them scan the appropriate subdirectories
so that we don't even *try* to, for example, load libwireshark plugins
in programs that only use libwiretap.
Compiled plugins are stored in subfolders of the plugin folders, with
the subfolder name being the Wireshark minor version number (X.Y). There is
another hierarchical level for each Wireshark library (libwireshark, libwscodecs
and libwiretap).
The folder names are respectively plugins/X.Y/{epan,codecs,wiretap}.
Currently we only distribute "epan" (libwireshark) plugins.

Let the build system handle the dependencies. Make sure to update the file
even if nothing has changed to avoid re-running the script every time.

The output compares equal to make-dissector-reg.py and the regex
should be more robust (multiline, complete start of function definition).
The primary motivation is to clean up the python script. This small
binary results in much cleaner code. The python script is used only
to generate plugin code, therefore it is renamed.
Also in my casual measurements the C code is much faster (without cache)
than the python script with the cache.
