Description

Currently ALPROTO_.. values are hardcoded in an enum. Ideally these would become dynamic, or at least it should be possible for plugins to dynamically register values.

The hardcoded values are currently used in many places, so this would probably be a multi step project. E.g. currently there are almost 4k lines in our code that use one of those hardcoded values.
