In order to avoid Bison's compatibility problem (like
https://code.wireshark.org/review/#/c/33771/),
the *.proto file parser is rewritten with lemon. (rename
protobuf_lang.y.in to protobuf_lang_parser.lemon)
Also improved the mechanism of recording line number of
message, field, and enum names.
Make Protobuf fields that are not serialized on the wire (missing in
capture files) to be displayed with default values by setting the new
'add_default_value' preference. The default values might be explicitly
declared in 'proto2' files, or false for bools, first value for enums,
zero for numeric types.
Default values are generated in epan/protobuf_lang_tree.c during the
nodes of fields are created. The default_value_xxx() methods of field
descriptor are added into epan/protobuf-helper.c/h and
epan/protobuf_lang_tree.c/h files.
close#17000
Two enhancements and one fixed bug:
1. Add dissecting protobuf fields as wireshark (header) fields preferences. User
can input the full names of protobuf fields or messages in Filter toolbar for
searching.
2. Add 'protobuf_field' dissector table. Dissector based on protobuf can register
itself to 'protobuf_field' keyed with the full names of fields of BYETS or STRING
types.
3. A bug about search MESSAGE or ENUM type in context is fixed.
4. Another small enhancement is adding prefs_set_preference_effect_fields() which
can mark a preference that affects fields change (triggering FieldsChanged event).
See the linked bug for sample capture file and .proto files.

1. A C-style Protocol Buffers Language (PBL) parser for *.proto file is added.
It contains protobuf_lang_scanner.l (lex scanner), epan/protobuf_lang.y (grammar
parser), and protobuf_lang_tree.h/c (grammar tree implementation).
2. The protobuf-helper.h/cpp is an interface wrapper layer. If one day C++ is allowed,
we can create a protobuf-helper.cpp file, which using offical protobuf C++
library, to replace protobuf-helper.c. That keeps packet-protobuf.c unchanged.
3. User can specify protobuf search paths, and the UDP ports to protobuf message type
maps at the Protobuf protocol preferences.
4. Other dissectors can pass the message type to Protobuf dissector by data parameter
or pinfo->private_table["pb_msg_type"] (pinfo.private["pb_msg_type"] in lua).
Some Sample of GRPC with Protobuf captures can be found in Bug: 13932.
