Add support for adding unit names to hf_ fields.
This was inspired by the https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev/201505/msg00029.html thread. Used TCP and NTP dissectors as the guinea pig with sample use. Documentation updates includes some unrelated cleanup just because it was noticed.

* TShark can now export objects like the other GUI interfaces.
* Support for G.722 and G.726 codecs in the RTP Player (via the SpanDSP library).
* You can now choose the output device when playing RTP streams.
+* Added support for dissectors to include a unit name natively in their hf field.
+ A field can now automatically append "seconds" or "ms" to its value without
+ additional printf-style APIs.
