Fetch an indication of whether the interface supports capturing in
monitor mode at the same time that we fetch its list of link-layer types. Support fetching that list in monitor mode, as the list may be different in regular and monitor mode. If the interface supports monitor mode, when printing the list of link-layer types, indicate whether they're fetched in monitor mode or not, as tcpdump 4.1.x does. svn path=/trunk/; revision=32789
