Also, provide some 11ac information, now that we can distinguish between

supposed to return -1 on error, 0 if the file doesn't appear to be a
file of the specified type, or 1 if the file does appear to be a file of

FALSE on errors (so that, even if there's an I/O error, it reports "the

trying to read the file").
When doing reads in an open routine before we've concluded that the file

This patch incorporates the following fixes from the patch attached to
bug 5671 with changes as noted below:
1.) Files where the packet header and packet data are noncontiguous are
handled improperly, resulting in read misalignment and ultimately the
error message, "Observer: bad record: Invalid magic number 0xXXXXXXXX."
This bug is caused by not obeying the packet_entry_header.offset_to_frame
field.
2.) Daylight savings time is not properly accounted for in files using
local time encoding.
3.) As of Observer/GigaStor v13.10 (bug 5671 incorrectly stated v14),
timestamps in the file format changed from local time encoding to GMT
encoding. Wiretap has been changed to support reading both formats.
Patch submitted with bug 5671 added a separate file type to allow
writing local format. This patch does not add the separate file type
and always writes GMT.
4.) The wtap_dumper.bytes_dumped field is not being properly incremented
as data is written to files.
This patch also incorporates the following additional enhancements /
fixes not in bug 5671:
1.) Support for reading BFR files which contain Fibre Channel captures.
Test file Fibre_Channel_Capture.bfr attached.
2.) Support for modified file header used in upcoming v15. New header
file format takes an unused byte from the version string to allow for a
