I'm not sold on the name or module the proto_data functions live in, but I believe the function arguments are solid and gives us the most flexibility for the future. And search/replace of a function name is easy enough to do.
The big driving force for getting this in sooner rather than later is the saved memory on ethernet packets (and IP packets soon), that used to have file_scope() proto data when all it needed was packet_scope() data (technically packet_info->pool scoped), strictly for Decode As.
All dissectors that use p_add_proto_data() only for Decode As functionality have been converted to using packet_scope(). All other dissectors were converted to using file_scope() which was the original scope for "proto" data.

There seem to be several cases of proto_tree_add_string_format where a "string" value/filter doesn't really make sense because it's always empty, and is just being used as a "filterable subtree header (placeholder)". They appear to be more for "presense" than "value" and should probably be FT_NONE, although I'd almost argue for removing the filter in favor of proto_tree_add_text.

The script didn't catch as many as I would have liked, but it's a start.
The most common (ab)use of proto_tree_add_uint_format was for appending strings to CRC/checksum values to note good or bad CRC/checksum.

Cast away some implicit 64-bit-to-32-bit conversion errors due to use of
sizeof.
Cast away some implicit 64-bit-to-32-bit conversion errors due to use of
strtol() and strtoul().
Change some data types to avoid those implicit conversion warnings.
When assigning a constant to a float, make sure the constant isn't a
double, by appending "f" to the constant.
Constify a bunch of variables, parameters, and return values to
eliminate warnings due to strings being given const qualifiers. Cast
away those warnings in some cases where an API we don't control forces
us to do so.
Enable a bunch of additional warnings by default. Note why at least
some of the other warnings aren't enabled.
randpkt.c and text2pcap.c are used to build programs, so they don't need
to be in EXTRA_DIST.
If the user specifies --enable-warnings-as-errors, add -Werror *even if
the user specified --enable-extra-gcc-flags; assume they know what
they're doing and are willing to have the compile fail due to the extra
GCC warnings being treated as errors.

The changes fix definite problems or
are done "just in case" for cases not esily determined
to be a problem by quick inspection.
Note: in some cases for loop index variables have been renamed
to ensure all required codes changes detected.

Also (for a few files):
- create/use some extended value strings;
- remove unneeded #include files;
- remove unneeded variable initialization;
- re-order fcns slightly so prefs_reg_handoff...() at end, etc

implicitly by the #define name and string they were defined to; not all
UATs neatly fit into any of the categories, so some of them were put
into categories that weren't obviously correct for them, and one - the
display filter macro UAT - wasn't put into any category at all (which
caused crashes when editing them, as the GUI code that handled UAT
changes from a dialog assumed the category field was non-null).
The category was, in practice, used only to decide, in the
aforementioned GUI code, whether the packet summary pane needed to be
updated or not. It also offered no option of "don't update the packet
summary pane *and* don't redissect anything", which is what would be
appropriate for the display filter macro UAT.
Replace the category with a set of fields indicating what the UAT
affects; we currently offer "dissection", which applies to most UATs
(any UAT in libwireshark presumably affects dissection at a minimum) and
"the set of named fields that exist". Changing any UAT that affects
dissection requires a redissection; changing any UAT that affects the
set of named fields that exist requires a redissection *and* rebuilding
the packet summary pane.
Perhaps we also need "filtering", so that if you change a display filter
macro, we re-filter, in case the display is currently filtered with a
display filter that uses a macro that changed.

Use val_to_str_const() instead of val_to_str();
Reformat long lines;
Do some general whitespace changes.

then use ENC_ASCII.
2. For all but FT_UINT_STRING, always use ENC_NA

keys to have _uint in their names, to match the routines that handle
dissector tables with string keys. (Using _port can confuse people into
thinking they're intended solely for use with TCP/UDP/etc. ports when,
in fact, they work better for things such as Ethernet types, where the
binding of particular values to particular protocols are a lot
stronger.)

date as YYYY/DDD, where DDD is a 1-origin day of year. Move the formats
to a "time_fmt.h" file, included by the headers that use it. Have
abs_time_to_str() and abs_time_secs_to_str() take the date format value,
rather than a Boolean "show this as UTC" flag, as an argument. Document
the ABSOLUTE_TIME_ formats a bit better. Use that format in the CCSDS
and VCDU dissectors, rather than having those dissectors do the
formatting themselves.
