This commit adds tvb_get_string_bytes and proto_tree_add_bytes_item routines for
getting GByteArrays fields from the tvb when they are encoded in ASCII hex string form.
The proto_tree_add_bytes_item routine is also usable for normal
binary encoded byte arrays, and has the advantage of retrieving
the array values even if there's no proto tree.
It also exposes the routines to Lua, both so that a Lua script can take
advantage of this, but also so I can write a testsuite to test the functions.

This adds the ability for Lua scripts to register heuristic dissectors
for any protocol that has registered a heuristic dissector list, such

As discussed in bug 3513 and 9709, one can register more than one new ProtoFields for

if they're not similar ftypes then things can get scrweed up in display filters.
So this change prevents duplicate field registration of dissimilar ftypes. The
similarity is based on the discussion on the mailing list, and the listing in
README.developer has been updated to refelect that as well.
Also, this change adds a testscript for Proto/ProtoFields.

The majority of the fixes are for calls to uat_new(). Instead of
having each caller cast its private data to (void**), we use void*
in the uat_new() API itself. Inside uat_new(), we cast the void*
to void**.
Some dissectors use val64_string arrays, so a VALS64() macro was
added for those, to avoid using VALS(), which is useful only for
value_string arrays.
packet-mq.c was changed because dissect_nt_sid() requires
a char**, not a guint**. All other callers of dissect_nt_sid() use
char*'s (and take the address of it) for their local storage. So,
this was changed to follow the other practices.
A confusion between gint and absolute_time_display_e in packet-time.c
was cleared up.
The ugliest fix is the addition of ip6_guint8_to_str(), for exactly
one caller. The caller uses one type of ip6 address byte array,
while ip6_to_str() expects another. This new function is in place
until the various address implementations can be consolidated.
Add VALS64() to the developer documentation.

the behaviour emem has for seasonal trees, which is that the master tree
structure is not actually seasonal - it is permanent. When the seasonal memory
pool is cleared, the root node pointer in all of these permanent trees is set
to NULL, and the pool takes care of actually freeing the nodes.
Wmem can now mimic this by allocating the tree header struct in epan_scope(),
allocating any node structs in file_scope(), and registering a callback on
file_scope() that NULLs the pointer in the epan_scope() header. Yes, this is
confusing, but it seemed simpler than adding manual callback registrations to
every single dissector that currently uses seasonal trees.
The callbacks may also be useful for other things that need cleanup (I'm
thinking resource handles stored in wmem memory that need to be fclosed or
what-have-you before they the handle is lost).
As indicated by the number of caveats in README.wmem, the implementation
probably needs a bit of work to make it safer/saner/more-useful. Thoughts
