  Log:
  Miscellaneous code cleaning
  
  - add <stdarg.h> or <varargs.h> in snprintf.h
    and remove those inclusions in the other #ifdef NEED_SNPRINTF_H codes
  
  - remove the check of multiple inclusions in source (.c)  code
    (there is a bit loss of _cpp_ performance, but I prefer the gain of
     code reading and maintenance; and nowadays, disk caches and VM are
     correctly optimized ;-).
  
  - protect all (well almost) header files against multiple inclusions
  
  - add header (i.e. GPL license) in some include files
  
  - reorganize a bit the way header files are included:
  
    First:
    #include <system_include_files>
    #include <external_package_include_files (e.g. gtk, glib etc.)>
    Then
    #include "ethereal_include_files"
  
    with the correct HAVE_XXX or NEED_XXX protections.
  
  - add some HAVE_XXX checks before including some system header files
  
  - add the same HAVE_XXX in wiretap as in ethereal
  
  Please forgive me, if I break something (I've only compiled and regression
  tested on Linux).
