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.

- when the text parameter is constant col_add_str() and col_set_str() are equivalent but col_set_str() is faster.
- same for replace col_append_fstr and col_append_str
- remove col_clear() when it's redundant:
+ before a col_set/col_add if the dissector can't throw an exception.
- replace col_append() after a col_clear() with faster col_add... or col_set

convert all existing UAT update callbacks to use glib memory instead of
ephemeral memory for that string.
UAT code paths are entirely distinct from packet dissection, so using ephemeral
memory was the wrong choice, because there was no guarantees about when it would
be freed.
The move away from emem still needs to be propogated deeper into the UAT code
itself at some point.
Net effect: remove another bunch of emem calls from dissectors, where replacing
with wmem would have caused assertions.

explicit, and frees up the "generic" names (like tvb_memdup) for new signatures
that take the appropriate wmem pool.
Majority of the conversion done with sed.

key pointer value. _insert just takes the key-pointer, not a pointer to it.
Passing a pointer-to-a-pointer causes the outer pointer to be dereferenced as a
struct (when it in fact points to a pointer to struct) and leads to incorrect
behaviour and uninitialized/out-of-bounds memory accesses.

epan/show_exception.c, as it's used outside
epan/dissectors/packet-frame.c. Update their callers to include
<epan/show_exception.h> to get their declaration.
Add a CATCH_NONFATAL_ERRORS macro that catches all exceptions that, if
there's more stuff in the packet to dissect after the dissector call
that threw the exception, doesn't mean you shouldn't go ahead and
dissect that stuff. Use it in all those cases, including ones where
BoundsError was inappropriately being caught (you want those passed up
to the top level, so that the packet is reported as having been cut
short in the capture process).
Add a CATCH_BOUNDS_ERRORS macro that catches all exceptions that
correspond to running past the end of the data for a tvbuff; use it
rather than explicitly catching those exceptions individually, and
rather than just catching all exceptions (the only place that
DissectorError should be caught, for example, is at the top level, so
dissector bugs show up in the protocol tree).
Don't catch and then immediately rethrow exceptions without doing
anything else; just let the exceptions go up to the final catcher.
Use show_exception() to report non-fatal errors, rather than doing it
yourself.
If a dissector is called from Lua, catch all non-fatal errors and use
show_exception() to report them rather than catching only
ReportedBoundsError and adding a proto_malformed item.
Don't catch exceptions when constructing a trailer tvbuff in
packet-ieee8023.c - just construct it after the payload has been
dissected, and let whatever exceptions that throws be handled at the top
level.
Avoid some TRY/CATCH/ENDTRY cases by using checks such as
tvb_bytes_exist() before even looking in the tvbuff.

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.

are like the non-TVB versions except that they take a TVB and an offset
instead of (frequently) a pointer into the TVB.
Calling tvb_get_ptr() before modifying the rest of the fields should help fix
https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7960 (though I can't
reproduce that problem).
Replace a bunch of calls like:
SET_ADDRESS(..., AT_XXX, length, tvb_get_ptr(tvb, offset, length));
with:
TVB_SET_ADDRESS(..., AT_XXX, tvb, offset, length);

Note that, if you want EUI-64's to resolve the OUI in the display,
hacking individual dissectors to do it themselves and use AT_STRINGZ is
*not* the right way to do it.

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.
