Should we separate "Unknown/Disabled"?

Checksum validation may be disabled, or it may be enabled; however, due to insufficient bytes available to verify that checksum (e.g., small snaplen value caused the packet to be cut short), it may be unknown if the checksum is good or bad.

The TCP window scaling factor uses -1 for unknown and -2 when no scaling is used, so I'd recommend also using -1 for unknown here, and then use -2 if checksum verification is disabled.

Log:
 Add proto_tree_add_expert and proto_tree_add_expert_format.  This was added to expert.h instead of proto.h because the underlying code to process expert info is static (and should probably remain so).  Also, proto_tree_add_expert and proto_tree_add_expert_format follow "expert info" rules in that they should be called regardless of tree status (even though they take a tree as an argument), unlike the functions in proto.h
 
 Also added an enumeration for checksum validation status, as verifying checksums is considered "expert" functionality.
