Roland Knall acc581081e Plugin Interface: Add GUI callbacks
Rename ext_menubar to a more appropriate plugin_if.

 External menus can be implemented by plugins to present
 additional menus for deep-packet analysis. One side-effect
 of such menus being implemented as plugins is, that they
 are being executed in different threads and therefore can
 only use limited access to the main GUI. Also, there is
 no safe cross-gui (GTK and Qt) way for many features.

 This patch implements a first functionality, by which a
 plugin implemented using ext_menubar can apply a display
 filter to the main view.

 For now the implementation supports filtering, as well as
 saving a preference.

Roland Knall eeed4d1121 UI: Implementing menus for plugins
Plugins may utilize the tap interface to provide special tools
 or analysis options, not otherwise available in Wireshark, or
 perhaps not allowed to be distributed freely. Up until now, those
 tools either had to start automatically, or could not be started
 at all, or had to be started separately.

 It should be possible, that those tools may be started using a
 menu entry directly from Wireshark. This interface tries to achieve
 exactly that.

 This interface uses a clean interface, which can be implemented in
 any plugin or dissector. Documentation for this has been added to
 README.plugins.

 Separators are only supported for now in the Qt interface, but
 URLs can now be added as a simple item, and the UI will use the
 same methods used for other URL calls to open them.

Guy Harris 5d87a8c461 WS_DLL_PUBLIC is now always WS_DLL_PUBLIC_NOEXTERN with "extern" added;
just define WS_DLL_PUBLIC_NOEXTERN inside the ifdefs, and define
WS_DLL_PUBLIC as WS_DLL_PUBLIC_NOEXTERN followed by "extern".

Then rename WS_DLL_PUBLIC_NOEXTERN to WS_DLL_PUBLIC_DEF, to clarify that
it's what should be used for definitions; at least on Windows, you
*have* to use it when declaring arrays without a size, and, whilst you
might be able to use WS_DLL_PUBLIC for definitions of functions and
perhaps data definitions other than no-size arrays, it might be clearer
to rename WS_DLL_PUBLIC to WS_DLL_PUBLIC_DECL and use it only for
declarations.

just be taps.

doesn't do anything.

Lars Roland 00273300e7 Preparations for dropping the old plugin api.
Introduce a new init routine for plugins, 
which does not take the plugin api table as an 
argument and allows etheral to distinguish 
between plugins using the old and the new api.

Update README.plugins accordingly

Change all g_warnings() in epan/plugins.c to report_failue().
On windows we do not have a log console open while
loading the plugins, because a log console cannot be opened before the prefs have been read. Thus g_warnings()
does not work for reporting problems with plugins.

Windows, not on UN*X.
