Inspired by looking into
https://ask.wireshark.org/question/8009/wireshark-ring-buffer-settings-from-command-line/
... in which the user was confused because a duration set on the command
line was not reflected in the GUI. That's because
I0180c43843f5d2f0c2f50153c9ce42ac7fa5aeae added the `interval` ring-buffer
option and made the GUI use this rather than `duration`. This was not at all
clear in the GUI, though.
Since `duration` and `interval` have quite different use cases, expose both in
the GUI.
Try to clean up and unify the tooltips at the same time. I'm not entirely
convinced the tooltips need to be on the checkbox, the spinbox, and the
combobox but leave it that way for now.
Add some to the man page description of the interval option to hopefully make
it clearer what the option does.

With the introduction of the ip command (from iproute2) on modern
Linux systems it becomes common to see this tool available,
gradually replacing tools like netstat and ifconfig.

Add the ability to rotate files after a specified number of packets (`-b
packets:NUM`). Move some condition checks to capture_loop_write_packet_cb.
Add `-a packets:NUM` in order to be consistent. It is functionally
equivalent to the `-c` flag.
Add a corresponding "packets" option to the Capture Interfaces dialog
Output tab.
Add initial tests for autostop and ringbuffer conditions.

At one point, I remember a discussion resulting in the official name of
the next-generation replacement for pcap format being changed to
"pcapng", with no hyphen.
Make Wireshark reflect that.

pcap provides a pcap_set_tstamp_type function, which can be used to request
hardware timestamps from a supporting kernel.
This patch adds support for aforementioned function as well as two new
command line options to dumpcap, wireshark and tshark:
--list-time-stamp-types
List time stamp types supported for the interface
--time-stamp-type <type>
Change the interface's timestamp method
Name choice mimics those used by tcpdump(1), which already supports this
feature. However, unlike tcpdump, we provide both options unconditionally.
If Wireshark was configured without pcap_set_tstamp_type being available,
--list-time-stamp-types reports an empty list.

Add the "interval" option to "-b". Each new capture starts at the
exact start of a time interval. For instance, using -b interval:3600
will start a new capture file at each whole hour.
Changed the duration option in the GUI interfaces to use the new
interval option.

to support using "libpcap" as well.
Update the man pages to refer to it as pcap as well, and fix the
capitalization of "WinPcap" (see http://www.winpcap.org) while we're at

Also, refer to http://www.tcpdump.org/linktypes.html for the list of
