sshdump: clarify integration with Wireshark 

The sshdump command is typically not invoked directly, and I need a
place to refer people to for configuring Wireshark.

Typically sshdump is not invoked directly. Instead it can be configured through
the Wireshark graphical user interface or its command line. The following will
start Wireshark and start capturing from host B<remotehost>:
$ wireshark '-oextcap.sshdump.remotehost:"remotehost"' -i sshdump -k
To explicitly control the remote capture command:
$ wireshark '-oextcap.sshdump.remotehost:"remotehost"' \
'-oextcap.sshdump.remotecapturecommand:"tcpdump -i eth0 -Uw- not port 22"' \
-i sshdump -k

The sshdump binary can be renamed to support multiple instances. For instance if we want sshdump
to show up twice in wireshark (for instance to handle multiple profiles), we can copy sshdump to
sshdump-host1 and sshdump-host2. Each binary will show up an interface name same as the executable
name. Those executables not being "sshdump" will show up as "custom version" in the interface description.
