The name of the block, in the pcapng specification is the systemd
Journal Export Block; add "export" after "journal" in various
variable/enum/define names.
Those are used by more than one file type, so we should provide a block
type for them. (We don't *currently* use that block type, or the packet
block type, but this makes them available for future use.)
It only registers one file type/subtype, so rename it to
wtap_register_file_type_subtype().
That will also force plugins to be recompiled; that will produce compile
errors for some plugins that didn't change to match the new contents of
the file_type_subtype_info structure.
Also check to make sure that the registered file type/subtype supports
at least one type of block; a file type/subtype that doesn't return
*any* blocks and doesn't permit *any* block types to be written is not
very useful. That should also catch most if not all other plugins that
didn't change to match the new contents of the file_type_subtype_info
structure.
Don't make errors registering a file type/subtype fatal; just complain,
don't register the bogus file type/subtype, and drive on.
Instead of a "supports name resolution" Boolean and bitflags for types of
comments supported, provide a list of block types that the file
type/subtype supports, with each block type having a list of options
supported. Indicate whether "supported" means "one instance" or
"multiple instances".
"Supports" doesn't just mean "can be written", it also means "could be
read".
Rename WTAP_BLOCK_IF_DESCRIPTION to WTAP_BLOCK_IF_ID_AND_INFO, to
indicate that it provides, in addition to information about the
interface, an ID (implicitly, in pcapng files, by its ordinal number)
that is associated with every packet in the file. Emphasize that in
comments - just because your capture file format can list the interfaces
on which a capture was done, that doesn't mean it supports this; it
doesn't do so if the file doesn't indicate, for every packet, on which
of those interfaces it was captured (I'm looking at *you*, Microsoft
Network Monitor...).
Use APIs to query that information to do what the "does this file
type/subtype support name resolution information", "does this file
type/subtype support all of these comment types", and "does this file
type/subtype support - and require - interface IDs" APIs did.
Provide backwards compatibility for Lua.
This allows us to eliminate the WTAP_FILE_TYPE_SUBTYPE_ values for IBM's
iptrace; do so.
Eliminate WTAP_FILE_TYPE_SUBTYPE_ERF and
WTAP_FILE_TYPE_SUBTYPE_SYSTEMD_JOURNAL - instead, fetch the values by
name, using wtap_name_to_file_type_subtype().
This requires that wtap_init() be called before epan_init(); that's
currently the case, but put in comments to indicate why it must continue
to be the case.
Systemd journal entries aren't file-type-specific; they're found in both
systemd journal entry blocks in pcapng files and in systemd journal
export files. Give it a record type, for use with both file types.
This fixes#16955.
It also means that you can open a systemd journal export file and save
it as a pcapng file.
Reduce the minimum systemd journal block size from 212 to 35. The larger
minimum was based on the Journal Export Format file reader, but we don't
need to be as strict here.
Update some comments.

That makes them work as input to a mergecap that writes pcapng files.
File types that don't have a single per-file encapsulation type need
more work, with multiple fake IDBs, one for each packet encapsulation
type seen in the file, unless we can generate real IDBs.

That makes it - and the routines that implement it - work more like the
seek-read routine.

Treat systemd journal entries filetype-specific events instead of
packets.
Add support for reading and writing systemd journal entries to pcapng.
Note that pcapng IDBs should be optional.
Add support for REC_TYPE_FT_SPECIFIC_EVENT where needed.

Add a file parser and dissector that can handle the output of
`journalctl -o export`. From here we can add a systemd journal extcap
and possibly support for the JSON and binary formats.
