We link .so anyway. That's why generating .a archive is not really needed, but
like you noticed it takes lot of space. Also linking all dissector object files
to archive takes time.

So instead of linking dissectors to libdissectors.a and later linking
libdissectors.a to libwireshark.so
Link dissectors files directly to libwireshark.so

This can be also done for dirty dissectors, and other archives.
