It's impossible to convert a void pointer in C to a ByteArray, because we don't
know the length of the data.  The calling dissector can allocate any length for
this pointer.

I have implemented another solution in revision 39461 which uses a GHashTable
to store key/values which can be passed between dissectors written in both C
and Lua.  I think this is the closest we get to this request.
