file: do not perform recursive redissections to avoid crashes
When packets are being read (in "cf_read") or rescanned/redissected (in
"rescan_packets"), it could call "update_progress_dlg". That could end
up accepting GUI actions such as changing profiles (which triggers a
redissection via "cf_redissect_packets") or changing the display filter
(which triggers another "rescan_packets" via "cf_filter_packets").
Such recursive calls waste CPU and in case of "cf_redissect_packets" it
also causes memory corruption (since "cf->epan" is destroyed while
"cf_read" tries to read and process packets).
Fix this by delaying the rescan/redissection when an existing rescan is
pending. Abort an existing rescan/redissection if a new redissection
(due to profile changes) or rescan (due to display filter changes) is
requested and restart this to ensure that the intended user action is
applied (such as a new display filter).
