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.
Have routines to report capture-file errors, using libwireshark error
codes and strings, that call through a pointer, so they can pop up
dialogs in GUI apps, print a message to the standard error on
command-line apps, and possibly do something different on server
programs.
Have init_report_message() take a pointer to structure containing those
function pointers, rather than the function pointers themselves, as
arguments.
Make other API changes to make that work.
The "short name" is really just the name, used to look it up. The
"name" is really a description intended solely for human consumption.
Rename the fields, and the functions that access them, to match.
The "description" maintained by Lua for file type handlers is used
*only* for one debugging message; we should probably just eliminate it.
Call it an "internal description" for now.
cfile_dump_open_failure_message() opens a file for output, not input, so
use output_file_description(), not input_file_description() (i.e., "-"
means "standard output", not "standard input").
cmdarg_err() is for reporting errors for command-line programs and
command-line errors in GUI programs; it's not something for any of the
Wireshark libraries to use.
The various routines for parsing numerical command-line arguments are
not for general use, they're just for use when parsing arguments.

If, in the process of opening the input file, we determine that it has
packets of more than one link-layer type, we can catch attempts to write
that file to a file of a format that doesn't support more than one
link-layer type at the time we try to open the output file.
If, however, we don't discover that the file has more than one
link-layer type until we've already created the output file - for
example, if we have a pcapng file with a new IDB, with a different
link-layer type from previous IDBs, after packet blocks for the earlier
interfces - we can't catch that until we try to write the packet.
Currently, that causes the packet's data to be written out as is, so the
output file claims it's of the file's link-layer type, causing programs
reading the file to misdissect the packet.
Report WTAP_ERR_ENCAP_PER_PACKET_UNSUPPORTED on the write attempt
instead, and have a nicer error message for
WTAP_ERR_ENCAP_PER_PACKET_UNSUPPORTED on a write.

If we aren't built with libz, report a new "decompression not supported"
error if the file is gzipped; the problem isn't that it's a new capture
file format we don't support, it's that a *compressed* capture file, in
some format, but we don't support the *compression* format used.
This can be extended if we add support for other compression formats.

These are similar to the routines added to ui/alert_box.c for dialog-box
libwiretap error reporting.
This centralizes the knowledge about what to say for various libwiretap
errors, removing some duplicate code, and giving more details in some
programs.
