Guy Harris 13f3ebc4e5 Add a routine to get the path of an executable given the program name.
That reduces the number of get_progfile_dir() calls, leaving only the
calls that are done either to 1) get the pathname in order to display it
or 2) get the pathname in order to reset the library path.

That makes it easier to figure out which get_progfile_dir() calls are
made to find the directory in which (non-extcap) binaries from Wireshark
are installed and which - if any - are made to figure out the directory
in which *the currently-running executable* are stored.  (Currently,
get_progfile_dir() attemps to get the former, not the latter, so
extcaps in an extcap subdirectory, for example, will get the parent
directory of that subdirectory, *not* the directory in which they weere
installed.)

 Handling security fixes in source package wireshark

Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer and it's ability to perform deep
packet inspection in live traffic may encourage users to use Wireshark/Tshark
as a part of an intrusion detection or traffic monitoring system.
In that case, please note that Wireshark/Tshark may contain remotely
triggerable bugs causing crashes or allowing code injection.

Bugs allowing code injection will be fixed in regular Debian Security
Advisories, but fixes for pure crash bugs may be delayed.
