Can we make checkapi.pl capable of reading .l and .y files?  If so, we should process them, not the generated files.

(Lemon is less important, as we have our own fork of Lemon and can change it, although we may not want to make Wireshark-specific changes, so it might also be useful to have checkapi.pl capable of processing them as well.)
