Optimize epan_new/init_dissection
As Anders correctly pointed out in I7d8f84b2e, constantly resetting state will
turn init_dissection into a bit of a hot path. Especially as we will already
bear the overhead of switching files, we don't want to fall any further behind
than we have to.
This change includes three unrelated optimizations that reduce the cost of
init_dissection by about 40% as measured by callgrind:
- only initialize ares/ADNS if that preference is enabled (this of course only
applies if you specify -n to tshark or otherwise disable the preference)
- use memcpy instead of a loop in sigcomp UDVM init
- use memcpy instead of a loop in bootp dissector
The only remaining obvious hot spot in this path is reassembly_table_init since
it is called by so many dissectors. Suggestions (perhaps to get rid of the
GPtrArray) welcome.
Oh, and one other change to use g_strerror instead of strerror as insisted
upon by the API pre-commit hook.
