the point of no return ...

using dumpcap as the capture child for Ethereal.

dumpcap is a plain console application now, even for Win32 (so no WinMain, create_console and special piping stuff reguired). The undocumented command line option -Z will switch dumpcap into "child mode", using binary instead of plain text output messages to communicate with a parent Ethereal.

Ethereal's main.c no longer needs to distinguish between child mode or not, so some simplifying here.

capture_sync.c has to call dumpcap in a "hidden window" mode using CreateProcess instead of spawnvp, otherwise an uggly console window would appear. The handles created by _pipe doesn't seem to be inheritable for this function, using CreatePipe instead.

The file capture_loop.c is only needed by dumpcap, removed from Ethereal link objects.

Some debugging aid added and other minor cleanup done.
