Jef Driesen 63f5a4d652 Remove the dc_parser_set_data function
The dc_parser_set_data() function allows to re-use a parser object for
multiple dives. The advantages of this feature are actually very limited
in practice. The reduction in memory consumption is almost negligible,
because the amount of internal state in the parser is typically very
small. But the implementation requires some additional complexity
because each backend needs code to reset its internal state. Therefore,
the function is removed and the data and size needs to be passed
directly to the dc_parser_new() and dc_parser_new2() functions instead.

Because keeping a reference to the data has also caused issues in the
past, especially for applications implemented in a garbage collected
language, the data will now also get copied internally.

.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm dc_parser_get_datetime
.Nd extract the date and time from a parsed dive
.Sh LIBRARY
.Lb libdivecomputer
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In libdivecomputer/parser.h
.Ft dc_status_t
.Fo dc_parser_get_datetime
.Fa "dc_parser_t *parser"
.Fa "dc_datetime_t *datetime"
.Fc
.Sh DESCRIPTION
Extract the date and time of a dive,
.Fa parser ,
previously initialised with
.Xr dc_parser_new 3 .
This returns the broken-down time-stamp of the dive in the local time of
the dive.
.Pp
The
.Nm
function may internally invoke
.Xr dc_datetime_gmtime 3
or
.Xr dc_datetime_localtime 3 .
.Sh RETURN VALUES
Returns
.Dv DC_STATUS_SUCCESS
if the date and time were retrieved,
.Dv DC_STATUS_UNSUPPORTED
if the date and time are not supported by the device, or other error
messages on further failure.
