structure to the "packet_info" structure; only stuff that's permanently
stored with each frame should be in the "frame_data" structure, and the
"column_info" structure is not guaranteed to hold the column values for
that frame at all times - it was only in the "frame_data" structure so
that it could be passed to dissectors, and, as all dissectors are now
passed a pointer to a "packet_info" structure, it could just as well be
put in the "packet_info" structure.
That saves memory, by shrinking the "frame_data" structure (there's one
of those per frame), and also lets us clean up the code a bit.

take a dissector handle as an argument, rather than a pointer to a
dissector function and a protocol ID. Associate dissector handles with
dissector table entries.

than a pointer to a dissector function, as an argument.
This means that the conversation dissector is called through
"call_dissector()", so the dissector itself doesn't have to worry about
checking whether the protocol is enabled or setting
"pinfo->current_proto", so get rid of the code that does that in
conversation dissectors. Also, make the conversation dissectors static.
Get rid of some direct calls to dissectors; replace them with calls
through handles, and, again, get rid of code to check whether a protocol
is enabled and set "pinfo->current_proto" where that code isn't needed.
Make those dissectors static if they aren't already static.
Add a routine "create_dissector_handle()" to create a dissector handle
without registering it by name, if the dissector isn't used outside the
module in which it's defined.

of protocol-id-plus-datum pairs, so that multiple protocols can attach
information to the same conversation.
Dissectors that attach information to a conversation should not assume
that if they find a conversation it has one of its data attached to it;
the conversation might've been created by another dissector.
