register_wtap_module gives the ability for someone to write a wiretap
module see the wiretap directory in the base directory). Wiretap is the
code that Wireshark uses to read capture files in various formats. As
you noticed, the plug-in capability has not yet been used.
I believe that register_codec_module is for registering a RTP codec as a
plug-in that uses code that is not included in Wireshark (such as that
for voice codecs that cost money to license.)
