When button is pressed or triggered by shortcut, it opens same

User can click small arrow next to button and it open menu with all
new actions e.g. Set/Add/Remove for RTP Player.
Documentation updated.
Code is NOT able to do VAD (Voice Activity Detection) so audio silence
(sequence of equal samples) nor noise are not recognized as silence. Just
missing RTP (Confort Noise, interupted RTP, ...) and muted streams are
recognized as silence for this feature.
User can control duration of shortest silence to skip.
Updated documentation.
New advanced settings are created:
- rtp_player_use_disk1 - controls if decoded samples are stored in
memory or on disk.
- rtp_player_use_disk2 - controls if dictionary for decoded samples
is stored in memory or on disk.
- documentation updated
When user press S(elect)/D(eselect) key, all RTP streams related to
selected call/calls are selected/deselected in RTP Streams window. If
window is not shown, it is opened.
Documentation updated.
Changes:
- RTP Player added to Telephony/RTP menu.
- When openning RTP Analysis or RTP Player from RTP menu, just selected
stream is added. When Ctrl is hold during opening, reverse stream is
searched and added too.
- RTP Player: Added tool to select/deselect all inaudible streams
- RTP Player: Added Prepare Filter button
- RTP Player: Added Analyze button
- RTP Analysis: Added Prepare Filter button
- documentation updated
Code changes:
- RTP Player::rescanPacket() is not fired multiple times during rate change and during dialog creation
- Error shown in RTP player is cleared after every new decode of streams
- RTP Player handles case when Qt do not emit stop stream event
- "Select" menu code unified between dialogs>
- RTP Player: Audio routing menu unified
- buttons are connected to actions by signals()
- Analyze dialog is called by list of rtpstream_id, not rtpstream_info
Retap and UI response are much faster when many RTP streams are
processed. RTP Streams/Analyse 1000+, RTP Player 500+.
Changes:
- RTP streams are searched with hash, not by iterating over list.
- UI operations do not redraw screen after every change, just after all
changes. UI is locked when rereading packets.
- Sample list during RTP decoding is stored in memory so wireshark uses
just half of opened files for audio decoding than before.
- Analysis window checkbox area is limited in height
- Dialogs shows shows count of streams, count of selected streams and
count of unmuted streams
- Documentation extended with chapter about RTP decoding parameters
- Documentation extended with performance estimates
Changes:
- Added description of playlist idea and related operations
- Added description of RTP Player dialog
- Added description of VoIP Calls dialog

Introduce a new TCP preference to allow the user to choose the
precedence between Fast Retransmission or Out-Of-Order. When
performing the SEQ analysis, ambiguous packets will be considered
with the chosen priority, helping in the final interpretation.
Closes#15987
In rare circumstances Spurious Retransmissions are not detected
and the SEQ analysis would instead conclude with a Fast Retransmit
or an Out-Of-Order. As Spurious Retransmissions are more certain
than the latter ones, their respective precedences are changed.
The documentation is updated accordingly. Closes#13863.

The QUIC transport protocol provides a stream, similar to HTTP/2. Make
it possible to look at the stream contents. This can be helpful while
HTTP/3 support is not yet complete.
Known issues that will be addressed in the future:
- If a single packet contains multiple streams, then Follow QUIC Stream
will wrongly include data from streams other than the selected one.
This is tracked by bug 16093 and affects HTTP/2 as well.
- The Substream index menu does not properly filter for available
stream numbers. If a non-existing stream is selected, then changing
to another (potentially valid) index results in the "Capture file
invalid." error. As workaround, clear the display filter first.
- Follow Stream always selects Stream ID 0 instead of the first or
currently selected stream field in a packet. Users should manually
update the stream index as needed.

The HTTP/2 protocol multiplexes a single TCP connection into multiple
independent streams. The Follow TCP output can interleave multiple
HTTP/2 streams, making it harder to analyze a single HTTP/2 stream.
Add the ability to select HTTP/2 Streams within a TCP stream.
Internally, the HTTP/2 dissector now stores the known Stream IDs in a
set for every TCP session which allows an amortized O(n) lookup time for
the previous/next/max Stream ID.
[Peter: make the dissector responsible for clamping the HTTP/2 Stream ID
instead of the Qt code, that should permit future optimizations.]
