Unlike the standard I/O routines, the code we introduced that supports
fast random seeking on gzipped files will always supply some specific
error code for read errors, so we don't need WTAP_ERR_CANT_READ.
Add WTAP_ERR_CANT_WRITE for writing, as we're still using the standard
I/O routines for that. Set errno to WTAP_ERR_CANT_WRITE before calling
fwrite() in wtap_dump_file_write(), so that it's used if fwrite() fails

Add wtap_read_bytes_or_eof(), which is similar, but that treats a read

Pcap-ng files don't have a per-file time stamp resolution, they have a
per-interface time stamp resolution. Add new time stamp resolution
types of "unknown" and "per-packet", add the time stamp resolution to
struct wtap_pkthdr, have the libwiretap core initialize it to the
per-file time stamp resolution, and have pcap-ng do the same thing with
the resolution that it does with the packet encapsulation.
Get rid of the TS_PREC_AUTO_XXX values; just have TS_PREC_AUTO, which
means "use the packet's resolution to determine how many significant
digits to display". Rename all the WTAP_FILE_TSPREC_XXX values to
WTAP_TSPREC_XXX, as they're also used for per-packet values.

Otherwise, if you link with both libwiretap and libfiletap, it's
anybody's guess which one you get. That means you're wasting memory
with two copies of its routines if they're identical, and means
surprising behavior if they're not (which showed up when I was debugging
a double-free crash - fixing libwiretap's buffer_free() didn't fix the
problem, because Wireshark happened to be calling libfiletap' unfixed
buffer_free()).
There's nothing *tap-specific about Buffers, anyway, so it really

The "architectural" changes can be found in cfile.h, wtap.h, wtap-int.h and (new file) wftap-int.h. Most of the other (painstaking) changes were really just the result of compiling those new architecture changes.

For some routines that take multiple arguments that come from a struct
wtap_pkthdr, pass a pointer to the struct wtap_pkthdr in question,
rather than the separate arguments. Do this even if we're passing
expressions that were earlier assigned to the struct wtap_pkthdr fields
in question. This simplifies the calling sequences and ensures that the
right values are picked up by the called routine; in at least one case
we were *not* passing the right values (the code to handle Simple Packet
Blocks in pcap-ng files).
Also, call the byte-swapping routines for pseudo-header fields only if
we need to do byte-swapping.

wtap_file_read_expected_bytes() from an open routine - open routines are
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
the specified type, but those macros will cause the caller to return
FALSE on errors (so that, even if there's an I/O error, it reports "the
file isn't a file of the specified type" rather than "we got an error
trying to read the file").
When doing reads in an open routine before we've concluded that the file
is probably of the right type, return 0, rather than -1, if we get
WTAP_ERR_SHORT_READ - if we don't have enough data to check whether a
file is of a given type, we should keep trying other types, not give up.
For reads done *after* we've concluded the file is probably of the right
type, if a read doesn't return the number of bytes we asked for, but
returns an error of 0, return WTAP_ERR_SHORT_READ - the file is
apparently cut short.
For NetMon and NetXRay/Windows Sniffer files, use a #define for the
magic number size, and use that for both magic numbers.
