Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] macOS build broken

Hi,

I'm have been building on macOS Mojave for a while without issues, but for the last few days the build has been broken. I didn't try a git dissect yet to see which commit broke it, but the issue seems to be caused by the usage of the _Nonnull, _Nullable, or _Null_unspecified type specifiers in the 6lowpan dissector.

My compiler is:

> gcc --version
Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include/c++/4.2.1
Apple clang version 11.0.0 (clang-1100.0.33.17)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin18.7.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin

This is the error:

This code builds on Linux, and I assume some older version of macOS on the buildbots too. Should I give it a go to fixing this? I'm not the 6lowpan dissector author/maintainer.
