  Log:
  Add a generic media dissector. The dissectors trying to find a suitable
  media dissector for a given media type (value of a Content-Type header)
  must provide the logic to fall-back to this media dissector upon no match.
  
  Note that you must set the pinfo->match_string to the media type name,
  and if the media type is specified with parameters, then those parameters
  can be added to pinfo->private_data. If there are no parameters, or the
  parameter decoding is not implemented, you must set pinfo->private_data
  to NULL.
  
  Known TODOs:
  
   - Fix the WSP parameter handling so it accompanies any media dissector.
     Simplest approach is to retrieve the header field label from the WSP
     Content-Type field and to search for a semicolon in it (or by using
     the string length of the content type string representation).
  
   - Verify that that subdissection always works in the WSP dissector,
     even when the protocol tree is not being built.
  
   - Implement the media dissector in the remaining dissectors that use the
     media type string table.
