Cleanup memory usage

Build Information:

--
Hello,

this patch cleanup some code (mainly in dissectors), like:
 - Memory allocation with memset to {ep,se}_alloc0
 - Memory allocation with memcpy to {ep,se}_memdup
 - Memory allocation with g_snprintf to ep_strdup_printf() [or sometimes to
ep_strdup()]
 - Code like:
       buf = ep_alloc0(real_len + 1);
       memcpy(buf, p, real_len);
   To:
       buf = ep_strndup(p, real_len);

 - Where string can be const don't duplicate it to ep memory.

& many others.

There're still more issues like these on code, so please don't close the bug.

(I double check the patch - but there still might be some small errors ;/)
