In order to be able to dissect libvirt protocol the wireshark
plugin needs to be registered. So far this plugin registration
code was generated on every build using a script that was copied
over from wireshark's tools/ directory.
This is suboptimal, because the way that plugins register changes
across wireshark releases. Therefore, let's keep the generated
file in the git, put the command line used to generate the file
into a comment and remove the script.
This solution allows us to put different registration mechanism
into one file (under #ifdef-s) and thus compile with wider range
of wireshark releases.

In many files there are header comments that contain an Author:
statement, supposedly reflecting who originally wrote the code.
In a large collaborative project like libvirt, any non-trivial
file will have been modified by a large number of different
contributors. IOW, the Author: comments are quickly out of date,
omitting people who have made significant contribitions.
In some places Author: lines have been added despite the person
merely being responsible for creating the file by moving existing
code out of another file. IOW, the Author: lines give an incorrect
record of authorship.
With this all in mind, the comments are useless as a means to identify
who to talk to about code in a particular file. Contributors will always
be better off using 'git log' and 'git blame' if they need to find the
author of a particular bit of code.
This commit thus deletes all Author: comments from the source and adds
a rule to prevent them reappearing.
The Copyright headers are similarly misleading and inaccurate, however,
we cannot delete these as they have legal meaning, despite being largely
inaccurate. In addition only the copyright holder is permitted to change
their respective copyright statement.

In the wireshark commit e2735ecfdd7a96c they dropped
proto_tree_add_text in favor of proto_tree_add_item. Adapt to
this change.
Moreover, the proto_tree_add_item API is around for ages and we
are already using it anyway. Therefore we don't need to change
required version of wireshark.

At wireshark, they have this promise to change public dissector APIs
only with minor version number change. Which they did when releasing
the version of 1.12.
Firstly, they've changed tvb_memdup() in
a0c53ffaa1bb46d8c9db2ec739401aa411c9790e so now it takes four arguments
instead of three. The new argument is placed at the very beginning of
the list of arguments and basically says the scope where we'd like to
allocate the memory. According to the documentation NULL should be the
default value.
Then, the tcp_dissect_pdus() signature changed too. Well, the function
that actually dissects reassembled packets as tcp_dissect_pdus()
reorder TCP packets into one big chunk and then calls a user function
to dissect the PDU at once. The change is dated back to
8081cf1d90397cbbb4404f9720595e1537ed5e14.
Then, WS_DLL_PUBLIC_NOEXTERN was replaced with WS_DLL_PUBLIC_DEF in
5d87a8c46171f572568db5a47c093423482e342f.

Introduce Wireshark dissector plugin which adds support to Wireshark
for dissecting libvirt RPC protocol.
Added following files to build Wireshark dissector from libvirt source
tree.
* tools/wireshark/*: Source tree of Wireshark dissector plugin.
Added followings to configure.ac or Makefile.am.
configure.ac
* --with-wireshark-dissector: Enable support for building Wireshark
dissector.
* --with-ws-plugindir: Specify wireshark plugin directory that dissector
will installed.
* Added tools/wireshark/{Makefile,src/Makefile} to AC_CONFIG_FILES.
Makefile.am
* Added tools/wireshark/ to SUBDIR.
