AndersBroman 6d2ea733dd Implement Export PDU for tshark
This patch introduces the "-U tap_name[,filter]" tshark option and
is similar to the "Export PDUs as file" option in Wireshark.

Wireshark implements this feature by reopening a capture file, applying
a tap and finally opening the temporary file. Since tshark knows
in advance that a PDU export is needed, it can optimize by not creating
the temporary file and perform the export at the first opportunity.

This patch splits the opening/tapping functionality from error reporting
since tshark does not need a temp file and has no dialogs.

The capture file comment is now specified explicitly as there is no
"current file" anymore if the tap is running without active file.

TODO:

 - Review whether it is acceptable to overwrite save_file in tshark.
 - Add documentation (tshark manpage).

Bug: 3444
