Move "struct preference" into prefs.c, essentially creating a "private"
structure to handle preferences. The 2 motivating factors were:
1. Better memory management so that clients/users of API don't have to worry
about it.
2. Hide the ugliness of the union stuff and make it transparent to the API.
A few bugs related to preference <-> Decode As integration were fixed
while in the neighborhood.

Handling security fixes in source package wireshark
Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer and it's ability to perform deep
packet inspection in live traffic may encourage users to use Wireshark/Tshark
as a part of an intrusion detection or traffic monitoring system.
In that case, please note that Wireshark/Tshark may contain remotely
triggerable bugs causing crashes or allowing code injection.
Bugs allowing code injection will be fixed in regular Debian Security
Advisories, but fixes for pure crash bugs may be delayed.
