setuid instead of Wireshark. Remove the "DANGEROUS" notices, but leave it disabled by default. Whine if the user runs Wireshark or TShark as root. Add a preference to disable the whining. Add a "setuid-root" script that can be used to switch dumpcap and TShark's setuid-ness on and off for development and testing. Update the release notes and README.packaging. svn path=/trunk/; revision=22733
