Rename packet-ssl* to packet-tls*

Looking through history of 

https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/-/commits/master/epan/dissectors/packet-tls.c

https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/-/tree/2fd42045f5afb556a03d8a1090f3278c77798766

 "epan/dissectors/packet-tls.c" did not exist on "2fd42045f5afb556a03d8a1090f3278c77798766"

Is there any sort of work around (symbolic link?) that could be tracked in Git?

It now changes from "Browse File" to "Browse Directory" to look at earlier versions.

    This is probably just a quirk of Gitlab's UI. It doesn't handle
    renames that smartly.
    
    The answer to your question is to use "git log --follow" (which is
    what Gitlab is doing underneath).

thanks
