58fe488822 Lua: add ability for scripts loaded from command-line to be passed arguments
This change adds the ability to pass on to lua scripts loaded from the
command-line (tshark or wireshark) additional arguments supplied by the
command-line.  This will help us in our testsuites, but also might be
useful for user-created scripts.  The additional arguments are passed in
using the '-X' eXtension switch.

bb25fad9de Add the ability to collapse subtrees with Shift+Left + additional menu items. Bug 9008 (https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9008).
Currently this is only for GTK, but allows users to test it to see if its worth adding to Qt (my personal opinion is yes).

d06d2fde90 Fix https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8943 :
List Windows Server 2012 (and a couple of Home Server versions) as supported OS.

While at it, remove the list of the various "NT-based" Windows versions from
a couple of other places (this effectively removes statements that we still
support NT4.0 and 2000).

When pointing people to the mailing lists, point them directly to the lists
page rather than explaining where to look for the link on the main page (the
directions were several years out of date).

While there also fix up some of the indentation and add a link to the Q&A site

fa5f6cced7 From Edgar Gladkich:
This is an extension to the Wireshark context sensitive protocol help. Rows in
TreeView window are analyzed and suitable help file (as HTML) is opened in a
browser.

The help part (large file, 23 MB) of the Protocol Help can be downloaded under
www.inacon.com/dowload/stuff/protocol_help.tar.gz

This protocol help "light" provides descriptive content for the most frequently
used standard protocols, including IP, TCP or SMTP.

From me:

Changes:

Rename "ph_" in some function names to "proto_help_". Move the protocol
help code to its own module.

Make a bunch of functions static. Remove unused code.

Use browser_open_url() instead of a custom function.

Increase the logging levels. Don't clobber the normal log handler.

Update some Doxygen comments to match the format in the rest of the code
base.

Removed GTK version checks. We've been 2.x only for a while.

Move ph_replace_string to string_replace() in epan/strutil.[ch].

Fix a bunch of memory leaks.

Add a NULL pointer check.

Reformat the overview menu label.

Document the file format and locations.

Add Edgar to AUTHORS.

140d21fe45 Reverted part of SVN 27411. The "home" and "end" key bindings overruled
the use of these keys while editing a filter in the filter toolbar.
The keys "ctrl-home" and "ctrl-end" already provide the functionality to 
go to the first or last packet in the packet-list. I added these as
accelerator keys and updated the users guide accordingly.

Of course we can also make "home" and "end" work, without breaking 
functionality in the filter toolbar, but that takes a little more
work (at least for me... maybe not after going to Steve's session
at Sharkfest :-)).

(will add this to inclusion list for 1.0.9 and 1.2.0)

4989352829 Update help text for capinfos, editcap, & etc. to match current development.
In some cases, remove option descriptions since the text 
 just repeats the help output.

Currently wireshark has ability to decrypt ISAKMP IKEv1 packets, but not IKEv2
packets. With attached patch decryption of IKEv2 packets is now passible.
