I think that means that _every_ one of my traitoids is now a struct
containing a vtable pointer as one of its fields (albeit sometimes the
only field), and never just a bare pointer.
All the main backend structures - Ssh, Telnet, Pty, Serial etc - now
describe structure types themselves rather than pointers to them. The
same goes for the codebase-wide trait types Socket and Plug, and the
supporting types SockAddr and Pinger.
All those things that were typedefed as pointers are older types; the
newer ones have the explicit * at the point of use, because that's
what I now seem to be preferring. But whichever one of those is
better, inconsistently using a mixture of the two styles is worse, so
let's make everything consistent.
A few types are still implicitly pointers, such as Bignum and some of
the GSSAPI types; generally this is either because they have to be
void *, or because they're typedefed differently on different
platforms and aren't always pointers at all. Can't be helped. But I've
got rid of the main ones, at least.
In the course of reworking the socket vtable system, I noticed that
both sshshare.c and x11fwd.c independently invented the idea of a Plug
none of whose methods do anything. We don't need more than one of
those, so let's centralise the idea to somewhere it can be easily
reused.
