Move most of the plugin code from epan to wsutil and remove all

knowledge of particular types of plugins.  Instead, let particular types
of plugins register with the common plugin code, giving a name and a
routine to recognize that type of plugin.

In particular applications, only process the relevant plugin types.

Add a Makefile.common to the codecs directory.
