The Qt log output changes in g6a5e90f2 changed the Qt message handler
to use g_log. Lua logging already used g_log. The Qt variant of
funnel logger, which is used by Lua as g_log backend, is currently
using qDebug and this gives recursive calls to g_log and thus an assert.
Rewrite the lua logging to not use g_log.

only handle errors any more.
Have a routine read_enabled_and_disabled_protos() that reads all the

protocols, enabled protocols, and heuristic dissectors files.
Have a routine to set up the enabled and disabled protocols and

Previously the metatables for classes were the same for the class and
its instances. This results in issues like calling __gc on the class
table on exit.
Make it possible to declare separate class methods (functions) and
instance methods. Observe that all attributes apply to the instances
only, so make these just available on the instance.
The attribute/methods lookup method (via __index/__newindex) have been
rewritten to use upvalues, removing the technical need for the
properties __getters/__setters/__methods. The "lua globals" test still
checks for these, but it could be removed in the future.
To fix bug 12968, the __gc method is removed from the class method.
Future patches should remove the WSLUA_REGISTER_CLASS,
WSLUA_REGISTER_META and WSLUA_REGISTER_ATTRIBUTES macros completely and
create split class functions/methods (such that __call for an instance
cannot accidentally be invoked on the class).
Removed duplicate "fragmented" property from Pinfo (which triggered an
error) and replaced exit() by g_error() for debugger friendliness.

The dissect_tcp_pdus function in LUA is passed two LUA functions that
get the PDU length and the dissect a PDU. When one of these functions
fail, a longjmp is made to the the caller of lua_pcall.
This is no problem for the PDU length function, but the PDU dissect
function is wrapped in a TRY/CATCH/ENDTRY block which also uses longjmp
and need to be fully executed. Without doing so, LUA exceptions will
crash on a weird location (except_pop).
Fix the crash by not using luaL_error, but throw dissector errors which
properly breaks out of the tcp_dissect_pdus C function and then convert
it to a LUA error such that the dissector can handle it.
Test with `tshark -X lua_script:crash.lua -r ssl.pcap`:
trivial_proto = Proto("trivial", "Trivial Protocol")
function dissect_foo(tvb, pinfo, tree)
error("triggering a LUA error");
end
function get_pdu_len(tvb, pinfo, tree) return 5; end
function trivial_proto.dissector(tvb, pinfo, tree)
dissect_tcp_pdus(tvb, tree, 5, get_pdu_len, dissect_foo)
end
tcp_table = DissectorTable.get("tcp.port")
tcp_table:add(443, trivial_proto)
It should not crash and will print this:

The current API for Lua provides a global function
"all_field_infos()" which returns all the populated field_info nodes
in the current proto_tree.
By default all_field_infos() "works", in the literal sense: it returns
exactly the fields the previous dissectors of the packet have
populated at that instant of time. But of course dissectors don't
populate all the applicable fields most of the time, because of the
TRY_TO_FAKE_THIS_ITEM optimization where they don't fill in things
that aren't needed at the time by a display, color, or tap's dfilter.
So this commit offers a way to force the dissectors to populate
all the applicable field_infos in the tree, by setting the proto_tree
to be visible. Obviously that is going to impact performance, since
it basically bypasses the TRY_TO_FAKE_THIS_ITEM optimization; so the
patch only does this if the Lua script author told it to explicitly,
by adding an argument to Listener.new() and register_postdissector().

There are some common things people need to do, such as convert to/from hex or get
the raw binary string in a ByteArray/Tvb/TvbRange. These have been added, as well
as some tests for them in the testsuites. Also, functions have been added to allow
a script to get all the available tap types and filter fields, since they are
not exactly what one can see in the Wireshark gui.
