ZigBee Green Power

I did some cleanup (mostly in the packet-zbee-nwk-gp.c but found a few related
cleanup items), but more work is needed.

1. Dissectors CAN NOT change the visited flag (packet-zbee-nwk.c)
2. The use of pinfo->private_data is trying to be deprecated.  You should be
able to just pass the data as a parameter if needed.
3. dec_buffer can leak if dissector is called (return before free).  Not sure
g_malloc should be used here anyway.
4. Many cases of 0x%01x should be 0x%02x (digits, not bytes)
5. There's just "excessive code".  Most notiby structures being populated with
few fields really being necesary.  You can use an & bit operator and not need a
lot of it.  Also, zbee_get_bit_field doesn't make sense for values that are a
single bit and just get used in an if statement (& operator works just fine). 
proto_tree_add_item can be used much more so values don't need to be retrieved
"manually" first
6. if (tree) checks should really only be done for a "group" of
proto_tree_add_xxx.  The number is arbitrary, but should not be used for
individual calls.  proto_tree_add_xxx calls do have NULL protection built in.
7. There are still some lindering proto_tree_add_text values that could be
converted to proto_tree_add_item, which would also cut down on the need for
some local variables.
