expert_add_info_format_text()

Per some of the other discussions, this may not be the best name, but I would like to eventually replace it with the existing expert_add_info_format name, just with the expert info structure as an argument (an no severity, group arguments), so that the "format"ing (printf) functionality is clearer.

Ah, thanks. I missed that part when looking at the changes to packet-arp.c
One question though: Why do we have a filled in text element (e.g. in packet-arp.c
we have "Duplicate IP address configured") in the ei[] array when the
call does require an actual formatting string (e.g. in packet-arp.c the arguemnt
to expert_add_info_format_text is "Duplicate IP address configured (%s)").

Well, it's the same as items added with proto_tree_add_xxx_format() isn't it? It's not really needed/useful but it's still kinda nice to have it there (at least for when we're reading the code).
