Hi,

Is anyone attached to hf_ variables? ;)

There's no real need of them, and we can just replace them with
header_field_info structure.

Just for completeness one should mention that replacing the hf_ variables with pointers means that each proto_tree_add_xxx() call will be pushing 8 bytes (in what is hopefully by now the common case ;-)) instead of 4 bytes onto the stack. I suppose that wouldn't really make a difference but I thought I'd mention it...
