string formatter, like "format_text()", and, as "tvbuff.c" now calls it
(*vide infra*), we don't want to have to make "tvbuff.c" drag "packet.h"
in just to declare "bytes_to_str()". It's now declared in "strutil.h",
so include it in modules that use "bytes_to_str()" and weren't already
including it.
Add a "tvb_bytes_to_str()" wrapper that calls "tvb_get_ptr()" to get a
pointer to a chunk of N bytes at a given offset in a tvbuff and then
hands that chunk to "bytes_to_str()". Convert the code that was doing
that to use "tvb_bytes_to_str()" instead (which caught what I suspect is
a bug in the Q.2931 dissector, where it was handing an offset of 0 to
"tvb_get_ptr()" - a cut-and-pasteo, I think).
Tvbuffify the ARP dissector.

the following:
It is now possible to enable/disable a particular protocol decoding
(i.e. the protocol dissector is void or not). When a protocol
is disabled, it is displayed as Data and of course, all linked
sub-protocols are disabled as well.
Disabling a protocol could be interesting:
- in case of buggy dissectors
- in case of wrong heuristics
- for performance reasons
- to decode the data as another protocol (TODO)
Currently (if I am not wrong), all dissectors but NFS can be disabled
(and dissectors that do not register protocols :-)
I do not like the way the RPC sub-dissectors are disabled (in the
sub-dissectors) since this could be done in the RPC dissector itself,
knowing the sub-protocol hfinfo entry (this is why, I've not modified
the NFS one yet).
Two functions are added in proto.c :
gboolean proto_is_protocol_enabled(int n);
void proto_set_decoding(int n, gboolean enabled);
and two MACROs which can be used in dissectors:
OLD_CHECK_DISPLAY_AS_DATA(index, pd, offset, fd, tree)
CHECK_DISPLAY_AS_DATA(index, tvb, pinfo, tree)
See also the XXX in proto_dlg.c and proto.c around the new functions.
