If a core Wireshark developer repeatedly can't remember that the
argument to the -F flag for pcap format is "libpcap", not "pcap", we
have a problem. Make it "pcap", and add a backwards-compatibility hack
to support using "libpcap" as well.
Update the man pages to refer to it as pcap as well, and fix the
capitalization of "WinPcap" (see http://www.winpcap.org) while we're at
it.
Also, refer to http://www.tcpdump.org/linktypes.html for the list of
link-layer header types for pcap and pcap-ng.
