Return an struct containing error information. This simplifies
the interface to more easily provide richer diagnostics in the future.
Add an error code besides a human-readable error string to allow
checking programmatically for errors in a robust manner. Currently
there is only a generic error code, it is expected to increase
in the future.
Move error location information to the struct. Change callers and
implementation to use the new interface.
Adds a pre-commit hook for detecting and replacing
occurrences of `g_malloc()` and `wmem_alloc()` with
`g_new()` and `wmem_new()`, to improve the
readability of Wireshark's code, and
occurrences of
`g_malloc(sizeof(struct myobj) * foo)`
with
`g_new(struct myobj, foo)`
to prevent integer overflows
Also fixes all existing occurrences across
the codebase.
Trivial, mostly just redundant assignments or
format specifiers.

Have cf_read_current_record() take a capture_file as an argument and
read, into its wtap_rec and Buffer for the currently-selected frame,
information for the currently-selected frame.
Rename cf_read_record_r() to cf_read_record().
That gives us 1) a routine that reads the currently-selected frame into
the wtap_rec and Buffer for the currently-selected frame and 2) a
routine that reads an arbitrary frame into the wtap_rec and Buffer
supplied to it. If you *want* the currently-selected record, use the
former, otherwise use the latter.

This reverts commit 9445403f95.
cf_select_packet frees the buffer backing the dissection result
(cf->edt) which results in use-after-frees when callers try to access
the contents. See for example this call trace:
* PacketList::selectionChanged
* cf_select_packet(cap_file_, row)
* frameSelected(row) -> ByteViewTab::selectedFrameChanged
* addTab(source_name, get_data_source_tvb(source))
get_data_source_tvb returns the buffer that backs the dissection and
must remain valid even after dissection has completed. If this is not
done, then a possibly expensive redissection must be done in order to
populate the byte view. The temporary memory savings are not worth it.

Most code that reads from a capture_file already has its own wtap_rec

This allows taps that can fail to report an error and fail; a failed
tap's packet routine won't be called again, so they don't have to keep
track of whether they've failed themselves.
We make the return value from the packet routine an enum.
Don't have a separate type for the per-packet routine for "follow" taps;
they're expected to act like tap packet routines, so just use the type
for tap packet routines.
One tap packet routine returned -1; that's not a valid return value, and
wasn't one before this change (the return value was a boolean), so
presume the intent was "don't redraw".
Another tap routine's early return, without doing any work, returned
TRUE; this is presumably an error (no work done, no need to redraw), so
presumably it should be "don't redraw".
Clean up some white space while we're at it.

The "-Wwrite-strings" flag produces nuisance warnings. These warnings are
not useful, they're impossible to fix in a sane way and therefore are being
handled with casts of static strings to (char *).
This just moves the warning to [-Wcast-qual] and a compiler pragma is
in turn required (and used) to squelch that warning.
Remove the Wwrite-strings warning. Let that responsibility fall on the
programmer (as is done by casting).
