of all the file types in which a file can be saved.
Giving each dumpable file type a routine that checks whether a file of a
given file type and encapsulation can be written lets us hoist some
checks into common code from out of the open routines.
If the "dump close" routine for a dump stream is NULL, have that mean
that there's no action that needs to be taken on a close by the code to
handle that file type; some file types don't need that, as they can be
written purely sequentially.

files.
Make the return type of a number of routines that return 1 (for "true")
on success and 0 (for "false") on failure to "gboolean", and make the 1's
and 0's TRUEs and FALSEs.

return 1 on success, -1 if they got an error, and 0 if the file isn't of
the type that file is checking for, and supply an error code if they
return -1; have "wtap_open_offline()" use that error code. Also, have
the per-capture-file-type open routines treat errors accessing the file
as errors, and return -1, rather than just returning 0 so that we try
another file type.
Have the per-capture-file-type read routines "wtap_loop()" calls return
-1 and supply an error code on error (and not, as they did in some
cases, call "g_error()" and abort), and have "wtap_loop()", if the read
routine returned an error, return FALSE (and pass an error-code-pointer
argument onto the read routines, so they fill it in), and return TRUE on
success.
Add some new error codes for them to return.
Now that "wtap_loop()" can return a success/failure indication and an
error code, in "read_cap_file()" put up a message box if we get an error
reading the file, and return the error code.
Handle the additional errors we can get when opening a capture file.
If the attempt to open a capture file succeeds, but the attempt to read
it fails, don't treat that as a complete failure - we may have managed
to read some of the capture file, and we should display what we managed
to read.

That requires that, in the packet-reading loop, we pass to the callback
routine the offset in the file of a packet's data, because we can no
longer compute that offset by subtracting the size of the captured
packet data from the offset in the file after the data was read -
"snoop" may stick padding in after the packet data to align packet
headers on 4-byte boundaries.
Doing that required that we arrange that we do that for "libpcap"
capture files as well; the cleanest way to do that was to write our own
code for reading "libpcap" capture files, rather than using the
"libpcap" code to do it.
Make "wtap_dispatch_cb()" and "pcap_dispatch_cb()" static to "file.c",
as they're not used elsewhere.
If we're using wiretap, don't define in "file.h" stuff used only when
we're not using wiretap.
Update the wiretap README to reflect Gilbert's and my recent changes.
Clean up some memory leaks in "wiretap/lanalyzer.c" and
"wiretap/ngsniffer.c", where the capture-file-format-specific data
wasn't freed if the open failed.
