Replace the protocol-specific data in the "packet_info" structure with a

"void *" that a dissector can set to point to such a structure; that
means that the stuff in the epan directory doesn't have to know anything
about the protocol-specific private data one dissector passes to
another, and that structure doesn't have to be changed if a dissector
wants to pass some new type of data to another dissector.
