In particular, epan/wslua/lrexlib.c has its own buffer_ routines,
causing some linker warnings on some platforms, as reported in bug
10332.
(Not to be backported to 1.12, as that would change the API and ABI of
libwsutil and libwiretap. We should also make the buffer_ routines in
epan/wslua/lrexlib.c static, which should also address this problem, but
the name change avoids other potential namespace collisions.)

Otherwise, if you link with both libwiretap and libfiletap, it's
anybody's guess which one you get. That means you're wasting memory
with two copies of its routines if they're identical, and means
surprising behavior if they're not (which showed up when I was debugging
a double-free crash - fixing libwiretap's buffer_free() didn't fix the
problem, because Wireshark happened to be calling libfiletap' unfixed
buffer_free()).
There's nothing *tap-specific about Buffers, anyway, so it really
belongs in wsutil.
