by dumpcap and Ethereal (so that, on UN*X, the child process can report
a detailed "can't exec dumpcap" error).
Rename most of the "sync_pipe_XXX_to_parent()" routines, as they're also
in Tethereal, which doesn't have a sync pipe.

primary and secondary error messages and let the parent worry about how
to display them. This means dumpcap doesn't need stub routines for
generating the formatting tags for the primary and secondary messages.
Have a separate message for capture filter errors, so that the parent
can check whether the capture filter looks like a display filter and
report the appropriate message. This means that dumpcap doesn't need a
stub routine for compiling display filters (a stub routine also means
that Ethereal won't do the check for capture filters that look like
display filters!).

using dumpcap as the capture child for Ethereal.
dumpcap is a plain console application now, even for Win32 (so no WinMain, create_console and special piping stuff reguired). The undocumented command line option -Z will switch dumpcap into "child mode", using binary instead of plain text output messages to communicate with a parent Ethereal.
Ethereal's main.c no longer needs to distinguish between child mode or not, so some simplifying here.
capture_sync.c has to call dumpcap in a "hidden window" mode using CreateProcess instead of spawnvp, otherwise an uggly console window would appear. The handles created by _pipe doesn't seem to be inheritable for this function, using CreatePipe instead.
The file capture_loop.c is only needed by dumpcap, removed from Ethereal link objects.
Some debugging aid added and other minor cleanup done.

This way, the capture child don't need to now any of the packet_counter things (no epan/packet.h and all alike).
Currently the capture_info code will always open another wiretap file instance to build it's own counter values. This isn't optimized for now (next step: use data from cf_continue_tail() somehow).

add a new feature to clear the currently captured packets and restart the capture with the previous parameters
various code cleanup and minor bugfixes
Win32: use millisecond resolution in capture_loop, to smooth screen update a bit (500ms instead of 1000ms)
svn path=/trunk/; revision=14059
display filename in statusbar while capturing
print_usage banner fixed
cf_cb_live_capture_prepare no longer needed
rename sync_pipe_do_capture -> sync_pipe_start
bugfix: sync_pipe_input_wait_for_start replaced by former implementation
fix cleanup of old file in capture_input_new_file
fix a tempfile detection bug (named file showed up as tempfile after capture)
svn path=/trunk/; revision=14053
don't use global cfile at all but only an untpyed handle to call the cf_... functions in file.c
move the save_file member from capture_file to capture_opts, as it's only used while capturing and while preparing it
svn path=/trunk/; revision=13276
Hopefully the unspecified forward declaration of capture_options_t in main.h is portable, but buildbot will tell me. This way I need the internals of that struct only at the places I really use it.
