Wireshark fails to compile with the following errors on a system with an older
GLIB (2.12.3):

> proto_help.c: In function ‘ph_parse_string’:
> proto_help.c:599: error: ‘GRegex’ undeclared (first use in this function)
> proto_help.c:599: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
> proto_help.c:599: error: for each function it appears in.)
> proto_help.c:599: error: ‘regex’ undeclared (first use in this function)
> proto_help.c:600: error: ‘GMatchInfo’ undeclared (first use in this function)
> proto_help.c:600: error: ‘match_info’ undeclared (first use in this function)
> cc1: warnings being treated as errors

GRegex requires GLIB 2.14 of greater.

Attached patch adjusts minimum GLIB needed for conditional compilation of
Protocol help.
