Add the list of output file format specs to Tethereal's man page.

At some point we should probably add the list automatically, like we do
the filter fields.

When writing packets to a file, B<Tethereal>, by default, writes the
file in B<libpcap> format, and writes all of the packets it sees to the
output file. The B<-F> flag can be used to specify the format in which
to write the file; it can write the file in B<libpcap> format (standard
B<libpcap> format, a modified format used by some patched versions of
B<libpcap>, or the format used by Red Hat Linux 6.1), B<snoop> format,
uncompressed B<Sniffer> format, Microsoft B<Network Monitor> 1.x format,
the format used by Windows-based versions of the B<Sniffer>
software, and the format used by Visual Networks' software.

Read filters in B<Tethereal>, which allow you to select which packets
are to be decoded or written to a file, are very powerful; more fields
