Added the option --extcap-capture-filter to extcap to send the capture filter
from the main screen to the extcap binary.

- If boolflags are being used, an extra space is added
to the call of the extcap filter. This leads to the
argumentparser of python to exit with an error-code,
and the extcap filter will not start. This patch instead
catches the unknown arguments and prints them on stdout,
as well as running the dissection with the rest of the
arguments list.
Basically this is a work-around, for a behaviour not
yet fixed in extcap, but it stabilizes the usage of the demo

There is regular expression that extracts only the number from
--extcap-interface argument and only that number (as string) is being
passed to extcap_dlts().

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.

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
