I believe this was the original intention, to use these API restricitons
with dissectors only (not that I necessarily agree with that policy either),
and through copy-paste and lack of clear guidelines it spread to other
parts of the build.
Rename the checkAPI groups to make it very clear that this is dissector-only.
This doesn't mean, of course, that good programming practices shouldn't be
followed everywhere. In particular assertions need to be used properly.
Don't use them to catch runtime errors or validate input data.
This commit will be followed by another removing the various ugly hacks
people have been using to get around the checkAPI hammer.
