I moved the APIs for registering and processing "-z" command-line
arguments and "Statistics" menu items into "stat.h" and "stat.c", and
renamed them to use "stat" instead of "tap", to separate them
from the core tapping APIs.
A tap could conceivably not register as a "-z" command-line argument or "Statistics" menu item, and a stat could conceivably not be implemented as a tap, although that might be unlikely. In addition, dissectors that implement tapping points don't need the UI-related stuff from "stat.h", they just want the tap-related stuff in <epan/tap.h>.
