that obviates the need to check for a null capture filter string, and
fixes bug 1055.
Keep track of whether it was set from the command line, though, so we
can catch attempts to set the filter more than once, and attempts to set
it when we're not capturing.
Clean up white space.

pointer, so we can determine whether a capture filter has been set or
not.
Use that to check in TShark whether the user specified a filter with
"-f" or not, rather than using the no-longer-set
"capture_filter_specified" variable.
Also, check for multiple "-f" options.
If no capture filter is specified, use a null string, to work around
broken versions of Linux libpcap.

even if doing a live capture; just print the packets without saving
them.
In dumpcap:
default to the capturing the entire packet;
don't do the "Press any key" stuff when debugging on UN*X;
do console logging (to the standard error) even when we're
running as the capture child (the sync pipe should only be the
standard output, not the standard error).

using dumpcap as the capture child for Ethereal.
dumpcap is a plain console application now, even for Win32 (so no WinMain, create_console and special piping stuff reguired). The undocumented command line option -Z will switch dumpcap into "child mode", using binary instead of plain text output messages to communicate with a parent Ethereal.
Ethereal's main.c no longer needs to distinguish between child mode or not, so some simplifying here.
capture_sync.c has to call dumpcap in a "hidden window" mode using CreateProcess instead of spawnvp, otherwise an uggly console window would appear. The handles created by _pipe doesn't seem to be inheritable for this function, using CreatePipe instead.
The file capture_loop.c is only needed by dumpcap, removed from Ethereal link objects.
Some debugging aid added and other minor cleanup done.

Win32: convert filenames coming in from command line parameters from locale (current code page) into utf8 encoding
This must also be done for the other command line tools like tethereal, editcap and alike ...

remove a lot of redundant code from tethereal and use (move) stuff from capture_loop.c instead.
concentrate common capture related code in capture_opts.c, e.g. trying to find the right interface to capture from (command line option, preference, first usable) instead of duplicating this code over several files.
remove redundant code from dumpcap.c
this also implements command line option -D (and indexed interfaces at -i) for Ethereal and Dumpcap (as we have it in Tethereal already for a while)

necessary there.
Add a "cmdarg_err()" routine to report command-line option errors; it
creates a console if necessary, and prints the command name and the
trailing newline. Also add "cmdarg_err_cont()", which also creates a
console if necessary, and prints a trailing newline but no command name;
it's used to continue the message. Use those, rather than
"g_warning()", for errors.
That means that we no longer need to pass the command name to various
command-line argument parsing routines.

remove Byte(s) from the dropdown list of filesizes, this doesn't make sense
replace 1000 with 1024, as all (modern?) file managers are based on 1024 bytes for a kilobyte (the old KB vs. KiB controversy)

Currently use the log for the capturing engine (only), as I desperately needed a log output for debugging.

most notably:
- moved opening of safe_file to the capture child (capture_loop.c)
- removed save_file_fd from capture_opts (no longer need to have it global)
