Enforce new constraints

Depends on: Attachment #3282, #3283, ##3284

This patch completes the header field info cleanup we've been doing by
enforcing the new constraints when a protocol is registered. Turning this on
will undoubtedly break out-of-tree plugins which will need to be updated. The
README.developer has already been updated to reflect these new constraints and
states the following:

"Some constraints are imposed on the header fields depending on the type
(e.g. FT_BYTES) of the field. Non integral types (e.g. types that are _not_
FT_INT* and FT_UINT*) must use 'BASE_NONE', NULL, 0x0' as values for the
'display', 'strings', 'bitmask' fields. The reason is simply that the type
itself implictly defines the nature of 'display', 'strings', 'bitmask'."
