This patch introduces packet_add_new_data_source() which effectively
deprecates add_new_data_source(). This is based on the following
observation:
1) The tvb + name (aka. data_source) is only used when the protocol
tree is visible
Nope. It's also used, for example, by "tshark -x", even if "-V" isn't
specified. There may be other places where it's used as well.
I've checked in a change to remove the test for a non-null, visible
protocol tree. If this optimization is to be done, we need a better
way of determining whether the data sources will be used.
