Fix some issues discovered by common python linters including:
* switch `None` comparisons to use `is` rather than `==`. Identity !=
equality, and I've spent 40+ hours before tracking down a subtle bug
caused by exactly this issue. Note that this may introduce a problem if
one of the scripts is depending on this behavior, in which case the
comparison should be changed to `True`/`False` rather than `None`.
* Use `except Exception:` as bare `except:` statements have been
discouraged for years. Ideally for some of these we'd examine if there
were specific exceptions that should be caught, but for now I simply
caught all. Again, this could introduce very subtle behavioral changes
under Python 2, but IIUC, that was all fixed in Python 3, so safe to
move to `except Exception:`.
* Use more idiomatic `if not x in y`--> `if x not in y`
* Use more idiomatic 2 blank lines. I only did this at the beginning,
until I realized how overwhelming this was going to be to apply, then I
stopped.
* Add a TODO where an undefined function name is called, so will fail
whenever that code is run.
* Add more idiomatic spacing around `:`. This is also only partially
cleaned up, as I gave up when I saw how `asn2wrs.py` was clearly
infatuated with the construct.
* Various other small cleanups, removed some trailing whitespace and
improper indentation that wasn't a multiple of 4, etc.
There is still _much_ to do, but I haven't been heavily involved with
this project before, so thought this was a sufficient amount to put up
and see what the feedback is.
Linters that I have enabled which highlighted some of these issues
include:
* `pylint`
* `flake8`
* `pycodestyle`
FT_STRINGZPAD is for null-*padded* strings, where the field is in an
area of specified length, and, if the string is shorter than that
length, all bytes past the end of the string are NULs.
FT_STRINGZTRUNC is for null-*truncated* strings, where the field is in
an area of specified length and, if the string is shorter than that
length, there's a null character (which might be more than one byte, for
UCS-2, UTF-16, or UTF-32), and anything after that is not guaranteed to
have any particular value.
Use IS_FT_STRING() in some places rather than enumerating all the string
types, so that those places get automatically changed if the set of
string types changes.
Most of the detected non-contiguous mask bitmasks seem to be valid - they often
represent multiple unassigned/reserved bits that have been conflated into
one hf item.
A set of exceptions has been added to the script - a couple of genuine
buts will be addressed presently in a separate commit.

Look for calls to certain proto APIs that require hf items of a certain type,
then check that the items passed in have one of the allowed types.
Currently takes around a minute to scan epan/dissectors. There are
a few issues that have not yet been fixed..
Hopefully this can be added to the PetriDish at some point.
