2.6 branch planning and post-branch changes

[Gerald Combs <gerald () wireshark org>]

I plan on releasing 2.5.1 tomorrow and I've tentatively scheduled creating the 2.6 branch on April 2, followed by 2.6.0 
on April 18.

As discussed previously we'll drop support for Qt 4 and GTK+ in the master branch after master-2.6 is created. Unless 
there are strong objections I'd like to bump the minimum GLib version to 2.32.

I'd also like your opinion on doing the following:

Deprecating or removing Autotools. We'd need generate source tarballs using another method, e.g. 
tools/git-export-release.sh.

Shipping the Windows installers with Npcap.

Renaming protocols to match current reality, e.g. "bootp" to "dhcp" and "ssl" to "tls".
