We only need is_linux_bonding_device() if we have pcap_create(). We
need get_data_link_types() regardless of whether we have pcap_create()
or not.

Move the code to open capture devices and get properties of capture
devices there, joining the code to get a list of capture devices.
This lets us do a better job of handling pcap_create() in WinPcap,
including handling both WinPcap with pcap_create() and WinPcap without
pcap_create() at run time, just in case somebody tries using WinPcap 3.x
with a Wireshark built with WinPcap 4.x.
It also could make it easier to use libpcap/WinPcap directly in
Wireshark and TShark, if we have versions of libpcap/WinPcap that run
small helper utilities to do privileged functions, allowing programs
using them never to need elevated privileges themselves. That might
make it easier to fix some issues with running TShark when not saving to
a file (we could avoid the file entirely) and with delays when stopping
a capture in Wireshark (Wireshark could stop writing to the file as soon
as you click the stop button, rather than letting dumpcap do so when the
signal gets to it).
It might also make it easier to handle future versions of
libpcap/WinPcap that support using pcap_create()/pcap_activate() for
remote captures, and other future extensions to libpcap/WinPcap.
Rename some XXX_linktype routines to XXX_datalink to indicate that they
work with DLT_ values rather than LINKTYPE_ values; future versions of
libpcap might use LINKTYPE_ values in newer APIs.
Check for pcap_create() on all platforms in CMake.

Found by starting Wireshark within an empty profile, opening
Preferences, search for Protocol "IEEE 802.11" (because it has radio
buttons), then close everything again.
Many fixes are trivial, but the various recent_read_* functions in
recent.c were changed to return a boolean such that the result can
always be checked even if errno==0.
QButtonGroup leak was hinted by Clang Static Analyzer, all other
memleaks were found using ASAN/LSan.

If the rpcap port is unreachable pcap_findalldevs_ex can write more
than PCAP_ERRBUF_SIZE bytes to errbuf. E.g. if we try to capture from
Google's all-eights public DNS server we get:
----
Can't get list of interfaces: Is the server properly installed on 8.8.8.8?
connect() failed: A connection attempt failed because the connected
party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established
connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. (code 1
----
Set the buffer to PCAP_ERRBUF_SIZE*4 bytes. Hopefully that's large enough.

Extcap is a plugin interface, which allows for the usage
of external capture interfaces via pipes using a predefined
configuration language which results in a graphical gui.
This implementation seeks for a generic implementation,
which results in a seamless integration with the current
system, and does add all external interfaces as simple
interfaces.
Windows Note: Due to limitations with GTK and Windows,
a gspawn-winXX-helper.exe, respective gspawn-winXX-helper-console.exe
is needed, which is part of any GTK windows installation.
The default installation directory from the build is an extcap
subdirectory underneath the run directory. The folder used by
extcap may be viewed in the folders tab of the about dialog.
The default installation directory for extcap plugins with
a pre-build or installer version of wireshark is the extcap
subdirectory underneath the main wireshark directory.
For more information see:

bug #9009
Also take a look in doc/extcap_example.py for a Python-example
and in extcap.pod for the arguments grammer.
Todo:
- Integrate with Qt - currently no GUI is generated, but
the interfaces are still usable

It just means "pcap didn't give me any interfaces, and didn't report an
error". Hopefully, in the future, there will be pcap APIs that
distinguish between the (admittedly unlikely, these days) case of "there
really *are* no interfaces on which *anybody* can capture" and "you
don't have sufficient permission to capture", and we can report the
latter as an error. (Given that pcap supports more than just "regular
interfaces", though, there are cases where you don't have permission to
capture on those but you have permission to capture raw USB traffic, for
example, so perhaps what's really needed is per-interface indications of
permissions.)
